2016 (4) TMI 180 - HC - CustomsValidity of prohibition imposed - in terms of Regulation 23 of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2013 - Appellant cleared raw materials, which are used to manufacture drugs and pharmaceuticals without proper import licence and without clearance from the Assistant Drug Controller results in prohibiting the appellant from working in any section of Chennai Customs Commissionerate and Customs Stations under the jurisdiction of Chennai Customs Zone - Appellant contended that once the proceedings initiated by the Cochin Commissionerate had resulted only in the imposition of a penalty of ₹ 10,000/-, the order of the Chennai Commissionerate prohibiting the appellant from operating within the area of Chennai Commissionerate, cannot continue indefinitely - Held that:- it appears that the order of the Licensing Authority holding the appellant guilty of violation and imposing a penalty has been challenged by the appellant before the Tribunal. So long as that order remains final, the finding that there was violation, also remains. Therefore, the appellant can seek a review of an order of prohibition only if the finding recorded by the Cochin Commissionerate that there was a violation, is ultimately set aside. - Decided against the appellant
