Orders
Case Summary: ALS/8/2025 The Bombay High Court granted leave to appeal to the Commissioner of Customs against the acquittal of two Japanese nationals charged with customs violations and illegal foreign currency smuggling under the Customs Act, 1962 and FEMA, 1999. The court found that while the magistrate's acquittal was based on insufficient evidence linking the seized currency to the accused, issues regarding the validity of the prosecution sanction and the gravity of alleged gold smuggling warranted deeper judicial reconsideration, making the case suitable for appellate review. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
