2018 (12) TMI 510 - HC - CustomsSuspension of CHA License - Regulation 16 of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations 2018 - principles of natural justice - Held that:- Indeed, the Ext.P4 order of suspension was passed on 26.11.2018. It is an interim measure, and no doubt the Commissioner of Customs has the power to do so. That said, I may also add that suspending a trade license-rhetorically put, an economic death sentence-visits upon the licensee with severe financial consequences. So it offends the notions of justice and constitutional morality if the authorities take too technical a view of the provisions dealing with suspension of license. To meet the ends of justice, as mandated under the Regulation 16, the Customs Department will immediately inform MBK Logistics, through a detailed notice, about the grounds of suspension, and hear its representative - petition disposed off by way of remand.
