Customs goods misdeclaration and customs broker conduct challenged on appeal; refusal to hear upheld, SLP dismissed.

The dominant issue was whether the HC's refusal to entertain an appeal against action arising from misdeclaration of goods, involving the conduct of a customs broker, warranted interference. The HC held that no substantial question of law arose and, given the nature of the misdeclaration, declined to entertain the appeal; the SC found no ground to interfere with that conclusion. The request for adjournment to place on record orders concerning other similarly placed customs brokers did not justify intervention. The SLP was dismissed.

Delay was condoned. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and considering the materials on record, the Court found "no good ground to interfere with the impugned order passed by the High Court." Accordingly, the Special Leave Petition was dismissed. Any pending applications were also disposed of.
