The scheme required strict compliance with that time limit, and no relaxation was permitted. An extension granted beyond the stipulated period without legal authority could not validate the licence or cure the default. As the statutory pre-condition for regularisation was not satisfied in time, the temporary licence remained ineligible for regularisation and the challenge failed. en-us Wed, 13 Sep 2006 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:48:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=119987 A Customs House Agent's request for regularisation of a temporary licence failed because the oral examination was not passed within the mandatory two-year period prescribed by Regulation 9(1) read with the proviso to Regulation 8(1) of the Customs House Licensing Regulations, 1984.
