Why customs seized a man’s luxury watch at Delhi Airport—and how court came to his rescue
A Dubai resident's Rolex watch, detained at Delhi Airport, sparked a legal challenge when customs controversially labeled it a "commercial quantity." The Delhi High Court ruled that a single watch cannot be classified as a commercial import, overturning part of the customs order. This decision clarifies personal belongings under customs law and extends the redemption deadline for the watch.
