AI generated

The court dismissed the customs officer's claim for indemnification against the State, ruling that no liability exists when an officer acts without negligence. The officer argued that the State should bear costs for losses incurred during merchandise verification, but the court found no evidence of fault. Consequently, the decision established that officers are exempt from state indemnity when performing duties without carelessness.
