2018 (5) TMI 364 - AT - CustomsWhether when jurisdictional Customs Commissionerate of another Customs station has issued an order of prohibition under Regulation 23, whether a parallel action of suspension of licence under Regulation 19 can be done by the parent Customs Commissionerate in respect of an act or omission involving the Customs broker at the other Customs station? Held that: - if the jurisdictional Commissionerate of Customs at the other Customs station finds that the infraction by the branch of the Customs broker is serious enough requiring further punitive action, he could very well write to the parent Customs Commissionerate conveying the facts of the matter and recommending further action under Regulation 19 or Regulation 18. Discernably, if the appellants had committed any breach of the CBLR Regulations in the “jurisdiction of the parent Customs Commissionerate”, the competent authority would have been well within his rights to take stock of the situation and if found appropriate and necessitating immediate action, to order suspension of the licence of the appellant. This is certainly not the case here. Appeal allowed - decided in favor of appellant.
