Challenge limited to whether license revocation and security deposit forfeiture were justified for modifiable blank guns posing national security risks
SC confined the challenge to whether the forfeiture of the security deposit and revocation of the customs broker license were justified. The court noted the goods were blank guns capable of being modified into lethal weapons posing national security risks, and observed inconsistency with CESTAT's findings. The High Court's decision upholding revocation of the license and forfeiture of the security deposit was sustained for the limited issue; notice was issued returnable 28 March 2025.
Application for exemption from filing a certified copy of the impugned order is allowed and delay is condoned. The petitioner drew the Court's attention to findings recorded by the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT) in its judgment dated 10th December, 2019, particularly paragraphs 4.9 to 4.12, contending that what was recorded in "paragraph 6 of the impugned judgment" is contrary to the CESTAT's holdings. The Court issued notice confined to that specific aspect, returnable on 28th March, 2025.
