https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=49866 Suspension of a Customs House Agent licence under Regulation 21(2) is a drastic preventive measure and must rest on recorded immediate necessity; where the order was passed after more than three months and gave no clear reasons for urgency, it was unsustainable. The alleged overvaluation also could not be attributed to the agent because the export documents declared the value and were signed by the exporter, and the material on record did not establish misconduct by the CHA. On those facts, the suspension was set aside and the appeal allowed, while the departmental show cause proceedings were left open to continue in accordance with law. en-us Mon, 15 May 2000 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 18 Aug 2010 11:17:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=49866 Suspension of a Customs House Agent licence under Regulation 21(2) is a drastic preventive measure and must rest on recorded immediate necessity; where the order was passed after more than three months and gave no clear reasons for urgency, it was unsustainable.
