2005 (6) TMI 114 - AT - Customs

Summary

The Appellate Tribunal CESTAT, Mumbai allowed the appeal of a Customs House Agent (CHA) whose licence was suspended by the Commissioner of Customs. The Tribunal found that the Commissioner's order was not entirely justified as the individuals working on behalf of the CHA were considered employees, and the acts mentioned were not directly related to the clearance of goods. The Tribunal set aside the suspension order but allowed the Commissioner to proceed under appropriate regulations.
