https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=92721 Suspension of a Custom House Agent licence under the licensing regulations was held unsustainable where no immediate action followed the alleged misconduct. The suspension order was issued after a substantial delay, only after adjudication proceedings had concluded, and the record did not show any pressing necessity for urgent intervention. Because prompt action is inherent in the suspension power, the unexplained delay and delayed communication vitiated the order. The suspension was therefore set aside, and the stated principle is that such licence suspension must be backed by immediate action on the disclosed facts or it is liable to be struck down. en-us Wed, 25 Aug 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 04 Nov 2011 15:50:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=92721 Suspension of a Custom House Agent licence under the licensing regulations was held unsustainable where no immediate action followed the alleged misconduct.
