    Case Summary: Vinay Mahesh Bhadra v. Intelligence Officer CIU (189/2026) The Additional Sessions Judge at Panvel granted bail to Vinay Mahesh Bhadra in a customs fraud case involving alleged mis-declaration of walnuts' country of origin to fraudulently claim SAFTA duty benefits. The court found that while the applicant submitted forged transit bills of lading, he was neither the importer, beneficiary, nor owner of goods and derived no financial benefit; additionally, bills of lading are transport documents that don't determine customs eligibility, which is governed solely by statutory origin certificates. Bail was granted on a ₹1,00,000 personal recognizance bond with two sureties and conditions including weekly reporting, address restrictions, passport deposit, and non-interference with witnesses.
