CESTAT revoked the Customs Broker license for fraudulent paper exports to Bhutan, finding the broker culpable for violating Regulations 10(d) and 10(e) of CBLR 2018. Despite establishing delinquency through evidence from Bhutan agencies and mismatched export documents, the tribunal moderated the penalty. The license was reinstated with conditional restrictions, recognizing the disproportionate nature of complete license revocation. The broker failed to demonstrate compliance or prove innocence, resulting in a nuanced judicial outcome that balanced regulatory enforcement with proportionate disciplinary action.
