The petitioner contended that the detained articles constituted personal jewellery, falling within the ambit of \u2018personal effects\u2019 under the Baggage Rules, 2016, and hence could not be detained. It was further submitted that once goods are detained, section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962 mandates the issuance of a show cause notice within one year (six months initially, extendable by another six months) and that no such notice had been issued nor any order passed even after the lapse of the statutory period. The petitioner expressed readiness to furnish an undertaking to re-export the jewellery and to pay applicable storage and warehousing charges. The matter was accordingly placed before the High Court.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:280}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em>High Court Held<\/em><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"TextRun SCXW23031482 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-IN\" xml:lang=\"EN-IN\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW23031482 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"Body-All Documents\" data-ccp-parastyle-defn=\"{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;f54e3151-7552-5563-bc14-dd1598e94375|1&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[469775450,&quot;Body-All Documents&quot;,201340122,&quot;2&quot;,134234082,&quot;true&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;Body-AllDocuments&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,469777842,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,469777844,&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,469769226,&quot;Book Antiqua,Times New Roman&quot;,335551500,&quot;0&quot;,134233111,&quot;true&quot;,335559740,&quot;280&quot;,201341983,&quot;1&quot;,335559739,&quot;0&quot;,335551550,&quot;6&quot;,335551620,&quot;6&quot;,469777929,&quot;Body-All Documents Char&quot;,201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;1&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777843,&quot;Calibri&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,268442635,&quot;24&quot;]}\" data-ccp-parastyle-linked-defn=\"{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;d1cb5994-2cf1-5883-8af4-faa182bd9769|1&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;1&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,469777842,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,469777843,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777844,&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,469769226,&quot;Book Antiqua,Times New Roman&quot;,268442635,&quot;24&quot;,469775450,&quot;Body-All Documents Char&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;Body-AllDocumentsChar&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,134231262,&quot;true&quot;,335551500,&quot;0&quot;,134233111,&quot;true&quot;,469777929,&quot;Body-All Documents&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}\">The High Court held that the two used gold chains worn by the petitioner were personal jewellery covered under the definition of \u2018personal effects\u2019 in the Baggage Rules, 2016 and thus were not liable to detention. The Court observed that the Department, having failed to issue a show cause notice or pass any order within the statutory period prescribed under section 110 of the Customs Act, 1962, could not retain the goods indefinitely. It directed the Customs Department to release the gold chains to the petitioner, subject to payment of the entire storage and warehousing charges applicable as on the date of detention and on the petitioner furnishing an undertaking for their re-export.<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW23031482 BCX0\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:1,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:280}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em>List of Cases Cited<\/em><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Directorate of Revenue Intelligence v.
