https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=47182 A temporary Custom House Agent licence cannot be regularised merely because a director or associated person has qualified the prescribed examination; the holder must satisfy the statutory requirement itself before regular licence can issue. Provisions permitting an employee, partner, or director to appear in the examination do not by themselves convert a temporary licence into a regular one. Parity also cannot be claimed on the basis of another licencee's alleged regularisation, because equality does not require repetition of an erroneous or unlawful order. The petitioner's request for regularisation therefore failed, while eligible persons could still appear in the ensuing examination under the regulations. en-us Wed, 25 Aug 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 13:43:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=47182 A temporary Custom House Agent licence cannot be regularised merely because a director or associated person has qualified the prescribed examination; the holder must satisfy the statutory requirement itself before regular licence can issue.
