Vijayan N. vs. The Commissioner Of Customs (Preventive Unit)
Held
The High Court found no reason to modify the directions issued by the learned Single Judge regarding the conditions for the release of gold. The Court noted that the release could only be on the conditions stipulated, especially given the appellant's lack of GST registration.
Facts
The appellant, who does not possess registration under the GST Act, sought the release of gold from the Customs Department. This writ appeal challenged the conditions stipulated by a Single Judge for the release of the gold.
Key Issues
The key legal issue was whether the conditions imposed by the Single Judge for the release of gold by the Customs Department to an unregistered person under the GST Act required modification.
