The HC allowed the writ petitions and set aside the impugned suspension orders as bereft of jurisdiction, holding that only the Parent Commissionerate (the license-granting authority) may suspend a Customs Broker licence under the Regulations and s.146 framework; a Non-Parent Commissioner may issue only a time-limited prohibition within its Customs Station under Regulation 15, not a suspension under Regulation 16. The Board's earlier circular made under prior Regulations remains operative to the extent consistent with the 2018 Regulations. Consequentially, suspension orders issued by a Commissioner who is not the licence-granting authority are quashed and the petitions granted.
