2017 (2) TMI 820 - HC - CustomsRenewal of CHA licence - whether mere pendency of a writ petition wherein the petitioner sought for release of 75 containers can be a reason to refuse to renew the petitioner’s Custom House Agents License? - Held that: - the pendency of a SCN for adjudication that too for a period of three years cannot be a sole ground to grant temporary renewal to the petitioner. That apart, it is not known as to why the Officer, who had adjudicated the show cause and given a personal hearing on 21-6-2012, has not passed any orders on the petitioner’s application. As already observed, merely because the petitioner has approached this Court seeking certain relief and the writ petition is pending does not mean that the petitioner is charged with a misconduct - the reason assigned by the respondents in the counter affidavit for not granting renewal for a longer period and renewing the license temporarily is not sustainable - petiiton allowed - decided in favor of petitioner.
