2018 (11) TMI 533 - AT - CustomsRevocation of CHA License - forfeiture of security deposit - breach of various provision of regulation 14 - absence of any statutory provision for limited revocation of a license - Held that:- It is the authority competent to issue the license that bears administrative responsibility for the jurisdiction in which the licensee is allowed to operate; the issue of a license, extension of such licences and revocation thereof are expressly provided for in the said Regulations. Whether there are any restrictions on receiving of a fresh licence is not apparent but the Regulations certainly do not provide for partial revocation and does not envisage a rollback except in circumstances of the original revocation being invalidated. The operation and control of Customs House Agents are best left to the judgement of Commissioner of Customs and that no intervention in the magnitude of penalty, save in obvious cases of being disproportionate or for violation of principles of natural justice and breach of procedure as prescribed in law is warranted - appeal dismissed.
