Learned counsel for the writ petitioner takes strong exception to the reasons mentioned in Ext.P6 for detention. I have gone through the reasons assigned in Ext.P6. At this stage, I do not wish to get into merits of the controversy raised. But at the same time the goods cannot be allowed to be detained pending enquiry in pursuance to Ext.P6. Therefore the appropriate order that could be passed at this stage is only to direct release of the goods covered by Ext.P6, on the petitioner furnishing a bond. Thereafter the authority will be entitled to continue the enquiry as provided for in the statute. It is also directed that for the purpose of a proper adjudication of the WPC 28943/07 : 2 : issue, a mahazar will be prepared and sample also should be drawn and kept. With these directions, the writ petition is disposed of. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
