The alleged licence and script tampering had been discovered long before the order, with no intervening prejudicial conduct shown; the payment under protest, revocation of the customs broker licence, and material linking another G-Card holder to the transactions were also overlooked. The Court further noted that the alleged EDI hacking was unexplained and that the role of customs officers remained under investigation, weakening any basis for satisfaction that the detenue would continue prejudicial activity. The detention order was quashed and rejection of the representation set aside. en-us Thu, 31 May 2018 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Nov 2018 14:26:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=361379 Preventive detention under COFEPOSA was found unsustainable because the detaining authority lacked a live link between the alleged prejudicial acts and the detention order, and relevant material facts were not properly considered.
