G Card cancellation follows cancellation of the CHA licence and remains valid as a consequential measure.

Cancellation of an employee's G Card issued for assisting a Customs House Agent does not survive independently once the CHA licence itself has been cancelled and that cancellation is upheld. Regulation 20 of the Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 permits such employment only with prescribed approval, and the identity card is limited to that auxiliary role. When the principal licence ceases, the employee loses the necessary nexus with the CHA, so the G Card follows the fate of the licence as a consequential matter. The cancellation was therefore valid and upheld.

Issues: Whether the cancellation of the employee's G Card could survive after cancellation of the Customs House Agent's licence.

Analysis: Regulation 20 of the Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 permits a Customs House Agent to employ persons to assist in CHA work only with the prescribed approval, and the identity card in Form G is issued to such an employee for that limited role. Once the CHA licence itself stands cancelled, and that cancellation has already been upheld, the employee ceases to have the necessary nexus with the CHA. In that situation, the identity card does not stand independently and follows the fate of the principal licence as a consequential matter.

Conclusion: The cancellation of the G Card was valid and stood upheld.
