Regulation 12(8) of the Handling of Cargo in Customs Area Regulations, 2009, caps the penalty for a cargo handling operator's acts of omission or commission at Rs. 50,000. An adjudicating authority cannot impose a penalty exceeding that statutory maximum under the Regulation, and an earlier departmental precedent cannot displace the clear ceiling.
