Revocation of a customs broker licence and penalties under CBLR, 2018 for alleged breaches of regulations 10(d), 10(e), 10(n) and 10(q) were set aside because the findings rested on unverified and sketchy material despite specific denial of any connection with the impugned exports and exporters. The authorities failed to supply the relevant shipping bills to enable an effective rebuttal, relied on notices sent to an address not shown to be linked to the broker, and did not verify foundational documents establishing any nexus between the broker and the exporters. The impugned order was held to be non-reasoned and unsustainable; the appeal was allowed. - CESTAT
