Customs search was held in violation of Customs Act: Ranya to High Court
The Business Guardian
|April 18, 2025
Kannada film actress Ranya Rao, also known as Harshavardhini Ranya, who was arrested in a high-profile gold smuggling case, told the Karnataka High Court on Thursday that the search and seizure carried out by the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) violated provisions of the Customs Act.
Appearing before Justice S Vishwajith Shetty, senior advocate Sandesh J Chouta, representing Ranya, argued that the search was conducted in violation of Section 102 of the Customs Act, which mandates that any person being searched has the right to be taken before a magistrate or a gazetted customs officer.
He claimed that failure to comply with this provision rendered the entire seizure invalid.
Chouta also highlighted procedural irregularities in the search and arrest, citing discrepancies in the mahazar and the notices issued before the operation.
