2024 (3) TMI 706 - HC - CustomsRevocation of the customs broker licence - Misuse of G-Cards - sub-letting of the licence on commission basis for a monthly consideration - contravention of regulations 10, 11 (a), (b), (d), (e) & (m) of the Regulations - HELD THAT:- We are unable to accept the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner for the reason that a Customs Broker occupies a very important position in the customs house. A lot of trust is kept in the customs broker by the importers, exporters as well as by the Government agencies. To ensure appropriate discharge of such trust, the Customs Broker Licensing Regulations have been framed and there has to be strict compliance thereof. Any contravention of such obligation would invite sanction as provided in the Regulations. We are of the view that the appellant having admitted permitting the use of his licence by third party in exchange for monthly remuneration, the punishment of cancellation of licence is not disproportionate. Further, as noticed no substantial question of law arises in the subject appeal. Thus, the appeal is dismissed.
