CESTAT remanded the case involving revocation of customs broker license for illegal red sanders export. The tribunal found procedural irregularities in the original adjudication, specifically the denial of cross-examination opportunity, which constituted a violation of natural justice principles. Despite the show cause notice being issued within prescribed timelines, the department's rationale for preventing cross-examination was deemed unreasonable. The appellate tribunal directed the original adjudicating authority to reconsider the matter, ensuring both parties receive a fair hearing with proper cross-examination rights before making a final determination on license revocation and potential penalties.
