Moral turpitude is conduct that brings shame and may justify employment disqualification, but a conviction alone is insufficient; the nature of the conduct must show that character. On the stated facts, possession of a V.C.R. and video camera without the required customs documents was held not to involve moral turpitude. The consequence was that the conviction, by itself, could not support automatic termination of service, and the revision was dismissed. en-us Fri, 15 Apr 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Jun 2010 18:17:39 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=42381 A conviction for possessing foreign goods without customs clearance documents under the Customs Act does not automatically amount to an offence involving moral turpitude.
