https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=49770 Regulation 23 of the Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 requires a mandatory sequence before suspension or revocation of a licence: after the inquiry officer submits findings, the Commissioner must furnish the report to the Customs House Agent and consider any representation before passing orders. The regulation does not confer any power to discard the inquiry report and direct a re-enquiry. Sub-regulation (7) operates only after compliance with sub-regulation (6), so the Commissioner's authority is confined to deciding the matter on the report and the reply, if any. A re-enquiry order issued without following this sequence was therefore unsustainable. en-us Sat, 25 Mar 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 17 Aug 2010 13:40:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=49770 Regulation 23 of the Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 requires a mandatory sequence before suspension or revocation of a licence: after the inquiry officer submits findings, the Commissioner must furnish the report to the Customs House Agent and consider any representation before passing orders.
