“After considering the matter, without prejudice to the case of the parties since earlier consignments were released provisionally the same can be done for fresh consignment”, the bench held ordering provisional release of consignment on same terms and conditions as passed earlier. The bench also fixed Oct 17 as next of hearing in the case.
