2018 (6) TMI 1024 - AT - CustomsSuspension of CHA License - the suspension in the impugned order is challenged on the ground that the action was not in conformity with timelines prescribed by Central Board of Excise & Customs in circular no. 9/2010- Cus dated 8th April 2010 - Held that:- The licensing authority is vested with the discretion to suspend if warranted. A justifiable challenge to suspension can arise if the time-lines for post-decisional hearing or for order of continuation is not complied with or is not followed by enquiry within the period stipulated in regulation 20 of Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations or if the circumstances are such that urgency of action is not tenable. The appellant has not been able to bring forth a challenge on any of these issues. The alleged role of the broker in the alleged smuggling is the crux of the proceedings against the appellant. The role disclaimed by the appellant for questioning the suspension, if ruled upon at this stage, would render redundant the process under regulation 20 of Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2013. Appeal dismissed - decided against appellant.
