CESTAT allowed the appeal of a former CHA employee whose F-Card was revoked and penalty of Rs. 50,000 imposed under CBLR 2018 Regulations 10(a), 10(b), 10(d), 10(m), 10(q) and 18. The appellant's F-Card became non-operational when his associated CHA firm's license was suspended. CESTAT found appellant acted as freelancer in individual capacity, not as F-Card holder, when allegedly facilitating import clearances. The tribunal held allegations were based solely on importer's statement without concrete evidence establishing regulatory violations. Since charges were unsubstantiated, both F-Card revocation and penalty were set aside. Appeal disposed favorably.
