The analysis rests on the principle that an agent co-noticee cannot be visited with penalty when the sanction against the main noticee is annulled, and on the treatment of erroneous classification as not attracting confiscation and attendant penalties in such circumstances. en-us Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 29 Jan 2026 09:51:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=785648 Confiscation and penalty arising from erroneous classification are examined with focus on liability of a customs house agent as co-noticee; where confiscation and penalty against the principal noticee are negated, penal liability imposed on the co-noticee cannot be sustained and is set aside, resulting in the removal of penalty against the agent and entitlement to consequential relief.
