Secondly, this is not a case where there is absolutely no material and the seizure is ex -facie illegal or arbitrary, unjust and unfair, muchless unreasonable. There is a definite material in possession of the investigating machinery. The investigating machinery has, prima facie, from these investigations concluded that the goods are not of Sri Lankan origin. They have been shipped in Indonesia. The port of origin is shown as Indonesia. The goods which are of Indonesian origin and routed through Sri Lanka, are passed off as goods of Sri Lankan origin to earn and gain the exemption. It is thus a dubious mode by which dutiable goods are sought to be imported duty free. We should not, in the exercise of writ jurisdiction, scuttle these investigations midway. Even the conditions imposed for release of the goods are not unfair, unjust and illegal. Therefore, Mr. Jetly seeks to distinguish the judgment relied upon by Mr. Nankani. He also invites our attention to the two affidavits-in-reply filed to the petition and particularly the statement which is to be found at page 116 of the paper book, paragraph 3 of the additional affidavit-inreply.
