KARACHI: An appellate bench of High Court of Sindh (SHC) ordered release of a consignment of cosmetics detained by the Pakistan Custom on the strength of a circular issued by the Director General Valuation.
The bench earlier heard a counsel for Franklin Law Associates appearing for the petitioner Ashraf Taders. The counsel relied upon a case law known as Danish Jahangiri case and said petitioner/ importer is entitled to benefit of provisional release against payment of duty taxes (differential between value claimed by importer and assessed by customs).
The bench later disposing of the petition ordered respondents to release the consignment as per law.
