of The CESTAT set aside the penalty of Rs. 1,00,000/- imposed on both appellants under Section 112(a) of the Customs Act, 1962, holding that the appellants, acting as Customs Brokers, discharged their obligations by submitting bills of entry based on documents provided by the importer. The tribunal found no evidence implicating the appellants in the alleged mis-declaration or misuse of the Importer Exporter Code (IEC). Investigations were deemed incomplete, with key persons not examined, and the Commissioner's presumption of the appellants' knowledge of any conspiracy was considered speculative and unsupported. The tribunal emphasized that Customs Brokers are not required to verify the authenticity of the importer's declarations or documents. Consequently, the penalty was quashed, and the appeals were allowed.
