2014 (8) TMI 773 - AT - CustomsRevocation of CHA License - Knowledge of anything contrary to the restrictions imposed - employees of the appellant did wrong acts without appellant s knowledge - Held that:- Appellant is not contesting the order on merits but argues the case on leniency as they have not knowingly done anything contrary to the restrictions imposed and has already suffered a lot in the past two years. It was argued by the advocate on behalf of the appellant that the employees of the appellant did wrong acts without appellant s knowledge. It was his case that a penalty of suspension/ revocation of appellant CHA licence for two years may be considered as sufficient penalty as appellant is jobless and does not have any other source of income. It is observed from the findings of the adjudicating authority in paras 19.4 and 19.5 of the OIO dated 17.09.2013 that Shri Piyush Gohel and Shri Ramesh Makupalli carried out the clearance work of M/s. Oswal without the knowledge of the appellant. However, adjudicating authority holds that appellant has to be held responsible for all the acts and omissions of his employees as per Regulation 19(8) of the CHAL Regulations, 2004. The order of the adjudicating authority for suspension/ revocation of appellant s CHA licence is therefore justified. The forfeiture of security deposit shall remain. The appellant has to furnish fresh security deposit as per law for resuming work as CHA.
