2017 (2) TMI 351 - AT - CustomsRevocation of CHA licence - smuggling of red sanders - time limit prescribed under Regulation 19 and 20 of CBLR - Held that: - the notices for revocation of the licence or appointing the enquiry officer for enquiry into the violation of the regulations, is not yet undertaken. In the absence of any such activity on the part of the lower authorities, we agree with learned counsel that the enquiry proceedings against the appellant may not be over 270 days from the date of confirmation of the suspension of licence. Although the lower authorities may not be able to complete the proceedings within the stipulated period of 270 days, the impugned order is unsustainable only on the ground that the lower authorities have not issued any SCN till date from the date of confirmation of suspension of licence. Appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
