Retrospective validation of customs appointments preserves actions and recoveries, and bars suits for good faith acts. The notification appointing customs officers is deemed to have been in force retrospectively from 9 May 2000 to 16 March 2009, rendering actions taken by those officers during that period valid; barring suits against the Central Government or those officers for good faith actions; validating recoveries ordered by them; and declaring that the Central Board of Excise and Customs had power to effect such retrospective operation, with no new criminal liability arising solely from the retrospective validation.
