2015 (2) TMI 510 - CESTAT MUMBAISuspension of CB licence - Held that:- CBLR 2013 lays down time limits to initiate the inquiry and completion of the same and for passing of the final order. The stipulated time limit available is 9 months from the date of receipt of the offence report by the licensing authority. The CBEC also, in circular no. 9/2009 dated 8/4/2009, has emphasized the need for completion of inquiry within time limit stipulated. - In the present case time limit has already expired. In these circumstances, we set aside the continued suspension of CHA licence No. 11/369 of M/s. Mahindra Shipping Agency and direct the Licencing Authority to allow the appellant to function as CHA. However, Revenue is at liberty to complete the inquiry and thereafter, take appropriate action in accordance with law. - Appeal disposed of.
