Merger control notice and disclosure rules: Supreme Court limits penalties, rejects reopening of approved combination, and sets aside adverse findings...
The Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal set aside the impugned order, allowing the appeal. The Tribunal held that the findings regarding breach of Regulations 10(d) and 10(n) of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018, were incorrect and lacked factual or legal basis. The charge of failure to discharge duties as a customs broker without delay was also incorrectly construed. Consequently, the revocation of the customs broker's license, forfeiture of security deposit, and imposition of penalty were set aside.
