DATED : 28th MARCH, 2022.

P.C:- Amongst the other contentions, one of the contention of learned Counsel for the Petitioner is that, the application given by the Petitioner for the release goods is not considered til today, though the said application is made on 21st February, 2022. The learned Counsel relies upon the circular issued by the authority.

Mr.Mishra, learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent submits that the application of the Petitioner does not state that the said application is made for the provisional release of the seized goods. Considering the fact that the application filed by the Petitioner for release of seized goods (page 55) is pending with the authority, the authority shall consider the said application for provisional release of the seized goods on its own merits and take decision upon it preferably within three weeks. All contentions of the Petitioner are kept open.
