Admittedly, as per the averments made by the petitioner himself in the writ petition, vide letter dated 29.12.2006 (Annexure P-1), the red alert notice, which was issued against the petitioner in the year 2002, has been withdrawn by the Assistant Commissioner of Customs, Anti- Smuggling Branch, Amritsar (respondent No.3 herein). It is the case of the petitioner that in spite of the withdrawal of the red alert notice, when he was to go to USA, on 19.7.2007, the CWP No. 6200 of 2008 -2- immigration staff of Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, detained him, in spite of the fact that the petitioner had shown the aforesaid letter to them. In our opinion, if some illegality has been committed by the immigration staff of Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, the petitioner can challenge the illegal action of the said authorities in the jurisdictional court, where those authorities are situated. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE April 11, 2008 ( RAKESH KUMAR GARG ) ndj JUDGE
