Questions about Section 11D
What does Section 11D of the Customs Act deal with?
Section 11D of the Customs Act is headed "Precautions to be taken by persons acquiring notified goods". [11D. Precautions to be taken by persons acquiring notified goods.--No person shall acquire (except by gift or succession, from any other individual in India), after the notified date, any notified goods-- (i) unless such goods are accompanied by,-- (a) the voucher referred to in section 11F or the
How do I find court cases under Section 11D 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 11D, section 11D Customs Act 1962, section 11D 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 11D 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), section 11G (Sections 11C, 11E and 11F not to apply to goods in personal use), so none of them can safely be read on its own. 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).
