<h1>Court Seeks CVC's Response on Alleged Corruption in Betel Nut Classification; CBIC to Submit Affidavit on Duty Evasion.</h1> The Delhi High Court has requested the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to respond to a petition alleging corruption by senior customs officers over the misclassification of betel nuts, affecting customs duty rates. The court also directed the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) to submit an affidavit regarding the issue. The petitioner, a customs house agent, claims that ambiguity in duty rates has led to significant misclassification, enabling duty evasion and financial losses for the government. Despite complaints to the CVC and other authorities, no effective action has been taken, allowing the alleged duty evasion to persist. The matter is set for further hearing on May 8.
