Questions about Section 11C
What does Section 11C of the Customs Act deal with?
Section 11C of the Customs Act is headed "Persons possessing notified goods to intimate the place of storage, etc". [11C. Persons possessing notified goods to intimate the place of storage, etc.--(1) Every person who owns, possesses or controls, on the notified date, any notified goods, shall, within seven days from that date, deliver to the proper officer a statement (in such form, in such manner and containing
How do I find court cases under Section 11C of the Customs Act?
In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Customs Act 1962 11C, section 11C Customs Act 1962, section 11C of the Customs Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.
What should I read with Section 11C of the Customs Act, and has it changed?
Its own text turns on section 11F (Sale, etc., of notified goods to be evidenced by vouchers), so none of them can safely be read on its own. 2 other provisions in this corpus refer back to it. The rules and notifications made under it are where it actually bites, and there is one: most recently Notified Goods (Prevention of Illegal Import) Rules, 1969 (1969).
