2016 (4) TMI 606 - AT - CustomsSeeking cross-examination of witnesses - Seizure of 6150 kgs of Red Sanders Wood - No cross examination of certain witnesses asked for was extended to the appellant - Held that:- the Adjudicating authority cannot brush aside the request for cross examination of the relied upon witnesses / investigating officers. If for any reason the cross examination of witnesses cannot be extended then the Adjudicating authority has to intimate the appellant about such rejection by a separate letter as is now a settled legal position. So, the appellant should give a specific list of persons / witnesses to be cross examined and adjudicating authority should make efforts to provide the cross examination of such witnesses. - Matter remanded back
