UNION OF INDIA vs M/S. KUNDAN RICE MILLS LTD

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in adjudicating the merits of a case concerning the confiscation of goods at the interim stage, which was beyond the scope of the writ petition. The Court found that the High Court failed to justify the conditions imposed for the execution of an indemnity bond and bank guarantee, leading to the vulnerability of its order. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's orders and directed a fresh hearing of the matters.
