Singh*<\/span> and Madhu Jain, JJ, held that since the customs department had failed to issue the show cause notice within the statutory time limit, the petitioner was not liable to pay any redemption fine, penalty or interest. Thus, the Court directed unconditional release of the petitioner&#8217;s goods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The instant petition had been filed seeking release of one gold kadaa and one gold chain seized by the Customs Department at Indira Gandhi International airport upon the petitioner&#8217;s return from Dubai in February, 2024.

The Court also opined that the petitioner was not liable to pay any redemption fine, penalty or interest but would be liable to pay warehousing charges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Accordingly, the Court disposed of the petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Sunil Kumar Gupta v.
