However, the suspension order must itself disclose recorded reasons showing an appropriate case for urgent action. Where the material is stale and the order does not state any fresh circumstance justifying immediate suspension, later explanations cannot cure the defect. On that basis, the text states that delayed invocation of the power amounted to an unreasonable and colourable exercise of authority, and the licence suspension was unsustainable. en-us Mon, 02 Dec 1991 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:08:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=81586 Regulation 21(2) of the Custom House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 is an exceptional immediate-action power, so prior notice and pre-decisional hearing are not mandatory where prompt action is required.
