The HC affirmed that the Respondent, a freight forwarder, acted as the final forwarder who issued an airway bill in the name of a non-existent firm, arranged airline space without conducting KYC, and caused use of forged documents in the illegal export of prohibited goods. The HC held that a monetary penalty of Rs.10 lakh-already imposed and sustained by the Tribunal-adequately addresses the Respondent's culpability.
