Customs Seizure Memo on Detention of Goods Issued Post-Writ Filing: Delhi HC Rejects Delayed Petition, directs Provisional Release of Goods

The Delhi High Court has "rejected a delayed petition" regarding a customs seizure memo and has directed the provisional release of goods. The court noted that the petition was filed after the customs authorities had already issued a seizure memo and a show cause notice. The court, however, reiterated its stance that goods cannot be detained for long periods without following due procedure and directed the provisional release of the goods, highlighting the importance of timely administrative action by the customs department.
