Customs House Agent License Revocation Appeals Dismissed as Infructuous

The Tribunal dismissed both appeals as infructuous after the Commissioner of Customs revoked the suspension of the Customs House Agent (CHA) License based on the enquiry report. The appellant's failure to appear during the proceedings did not hinder the revocation process, leading to the conclusion that no further orders were necessary. The acceptance of the enquiry report by the Commissioner finalized the revocation, ultimately rendering the appeals moot and concluding the legal proceedings.
