14,763.30 Grams of Gold

Posted on by Rudrajyoti Nath Ray

On 20.04.2021, an unaccompanied baggage of one Althaf Mossan Mukri was checked and 14,763.30 grams of contraband gold was found. On 27.12.2021, Althaf reached India. On 05.03.2022, Althaf was arrested.

We are of opinion, Division Bench of HC should have followed view taken by another Division Bench of same HC, specifically when ‘grounds of detention’ and ‘grounds of challenge’ were identical.

Appeal allowed.

– Hon’ble Justice B.R. Gavai, Shabna Abdulla (Sister-in-Law of Althaf Mossan Mukri ) v. Union of India, [Criminal Appeal No. 3082 of 2024].

'The Last Word' seeks to include not only wise and witty sayings but also curiosities. These words are not of obligation but of delight. I am not alone in my refusal to believe, law is tedious. For all who escaped these percipient eyes, mea culpa maxima. History, after all, has many cunning passages, contrived corridors and issues.
