2016 (11) TMI 619 - GUJARAT HIGH COURTRejection of application of the partnership for granting customs broker licence - principles of natural justice - one of the partners of the firm has been visited with personal penalty - Held that: - the impugned order was passed without granting any hearing to the petitioners. The order of rejection, which results into civil consequences, was thus passed in breach of principles of natural justice. From the order, it further emerges that the sole ground on which the Principal Commissioner decided to reject the application for licence was that one of the partners of the firm has been visited with personal penalty. The impugned order dated 3-6-2015 is set aside only on the ground of non-hearing. - Matter remanded back for fresh decision after personal hearing - petition disposed off.
