Smuggling
To prove a charge of smuggling it is essential to establish that the goods in question were brought into Bangladesh in violation of any prohibition or restriction imposed by or under any law or by evading customs duties or other taxes. In the absence of any special mark of identification to brand the cattle heads as Indian and similar cattle-heads being available in the local market, the appellants cannot be held liable for smuggling-Special Powers Act, 1974; S. 25B. Kabil Mia and others Vs. The State, 14BLD (HCD )432
