Customs' Decision To Prefer Revision Plea Against Order To Release Goods Not Grounds To Withhold Them: Delhi High Court

Delhi High Court held that a customs decision to prefer a revision plea against an order to release goods is not grounds to withhold them. The court stated that the mere filing of a revision petition by the customs department does not automatically justify the continued detention of the goods that a lower authority has already ordered to be released. Unless there is a specific stay order from a higher court, the customs authorities should comply with the order for the release of the goods.
