Penalty on a customs broker was not justified where employees independently took clients and filed Bills of Entry without the broker's knowledge, approval, or authorisation. The Tribunal found no evidence that the broker had any active role in the prohibited acts, and noted that the employees had admitted acting without the Managing Director's consent.
