Exhibition Gold Rs. 4.71cr Seized at Railway Station Over Missing Bill book: Calcutta HC backs Action of RPF and Income Tax Authorities

The Calcutta High Court upheld the action of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and income tax authorities in seizing exhibition gold worth ₹4.71 crore at a railway station due to a missing bill book. The court reasoned that the absence of proper documentation raised suspicion about the legitimacy of the gold and justified the authorities' intervention to prevent potential tax evasion or illegal activities. This ruling supports the powers of law enforcement and tax agencies to act against the movement of undocumented high-value goods.
