This is a fact on record that the CHA did not get any authorization from the exporter on whose behalf he was filing the export document. Since there was no authorization the violation of Regulation 13(a) has been established against the CHA by the enquiry officer as well as the Commissioner - revocation of the CHA licence by the Commissioner of Customs is sustainable
