CESTAT held that the revocation of the appellant's Customs Broker License and forfeiture of security deposit were unjustified. The Tribunal found that the alleged breaches of regulations 10(d) and 10(e) of Customs Broker Licensing Regulations, 2018 were not established by the facts presented. The failure to file declarations regarding drawback claims was deemed a technical irregularity, particularly as customs authorities had not noticed it themselves.

The Tribunal set aside the license revocation and security deposit forfeiture while maintaining the penalty under regulation 18, disposing of the appeal accordingly.
