D/L- 55 29/07/2026 Ct. No.-10 Aritra In the High Court at Calcutta Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri Appellate Side WPA 844 of 2026 With CAN 1 of 2026 M/s. Rimpi Traders Vs. Union of India & Ors. Mr. Pulkit Verma Ms. Pooja Sah Mr. A.R. Chowdhury Ms. Keya Kundu ....for the petitioner Mr. Ratan Banik ….for the respondents In Re.:- CAN 1 of 2026 This is an application praying for urgent hearing of the writ petition. After hearing the submission of the learned advocates for the respective parties, CAN 1 of 2026 stands allowed. In Re.:- WPA 844 of 2026 The writ petition is taken up for immediate consideration. Mr. Banik, learned advocate appearing for the Customs Authority prays for extension of time to file a report pursuant to a direction passed by a Co-ordinate Bench on June 29, 2026. Faced with such submission, the learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that at this stage the petitioner is restricting its claim for a 2 direction upon the respondent no.4 to consider and adjudicate the application dated April 1, 2026 filed by the petitioner under Section 110A of the Customs Act, 1962 within a specified time frame. Considering the fact that the petitioner has prayed for provisional release by submitting an application on April 1, 2026, WPA 844 of 2026 stands disposed of by directing the Joint Commissioner of Customs (Preventive Division), Alipurduar Customs Division, being the respondent no.4 to consider the application of the petitioner dated April 1, 2026 filed under Section 110A of the 1962 Act and dispose of the same by passing a reasoned order strictly in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible but positively within a period of 4 weeks from the receipt of a server copy of this order together with a copy of the application dated April 1, 2026. It is, however, made clear that this Court has not entered into the merits of the claim made by the petitioner in the said application and all points are left open to be raised before such authority and the said respondent authority shall consider the same while passing the reasoned order. Since a prayer for extension of time to file the reply was made by Mr. Banik, learned advocate for the Customs Authority and this Court has taken up the hearing of the writ petition considering the innocuous prayer made by the petitioner, it is observed that the 3 allegations contained in this writ petition shall not be deemed to have been admitted. There will be no order as to costs. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Hiranmay Bhattacharyya, J.)
