2015 (12) TMI 788 - CESTAT MUMBAISuspension of CHA License - CHA committed contravention of Regulations 11(a), 11(d), 11(e), 11(m) and 11(n) of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2013 - Held that:- CBLR, 2013 provides for a time-limit of 9 months for completing the enquiry proceedings and taking a final decision from the date on which the licensing authority comes to know of the contraventions by the CHA. From the impugned order, it is seen that the licensing authority came to know of the contravention for the first time on 19-5-2014 and the 9 months’ time period expires on 19-2-2015. Therefore, the present appeal and stay petition are premature and are accordingly dismissed. In any case, suspension is not a punishment. Punishment will come after enquiry is completed and the licence is revoked. On that ground also, the appeal is not sustainable. - Decided against the appellant.
