ORDER

1. AJMAL MIAN, J. --Mr. S.M. Noorul Hassan has placed on record six adjudication orders passed against the petitioner, in which it has been held that the petitioner have allegedly obtained the release of the goods on the basis of the alleged forged paid-up challans and, therefore, it has been contended that in terms of clause (b) of subsection (1) of Section 202 of the Customs Act, 1969, the respondents are entitled to withhold the possession of the goods for the amounts which have been adjudicated upon in these orders.

2. We are not inclined to grant the ad in interim order. The petitioners will have to get the above orders set aside by filing competent proceedings. The application is therefore dismissed. However, we would order that the petition may be fixed for regular hearing within 6 months.
