Levy of penalty on CHA - The appellate tribunal examined the case where penalties were imposed on appellants for allegedly failing to verify the antecedents of an importer before clearing a consignment as a Customs House Agent (CHA). Despite allegations, it was found that there was no evidence implicating the appellants in any wrongdoing related to the misdeclaration of goods. Moreover, as similar proceedings had been initiated under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations and subsequently revoked by the High Court, the tribunal concluded that any issues regarding antecedent verification should have been addressed through these regulations rather than penalties under the Customs Act. Consequently, the penalties imposed on the appellants were dropped, and the impugned order was set aside.
