    If the gold purchased by Mohammed is through his legitimate earnings, then the revenue should show some leniency by settling through fine for not declaring. If Mohammed not the real owner of gold, he got to face the law.

    Indian government bought tonnes of gold from the International Monetary Fund. Then why is it Mr. Ruknudin is guilty of bribg gold into India? Are we still backward in Customs Officer's mercy?
