Case Laws Customs HC

HC dismissed the appeal involving a custom broker's penalty dispute, finding the show cause notice (SCN) deficient in substantiating regulatory violations. Despite potential procedural irregularities, the court declined judicial intervention primarily due to the minimal quantum involved - total disputed drawback amount of Rs. 57,201/- and imposed penalty of Rs. 50,000/-. The ruling emphasized the necessity of comprehensive factual examination as per precedential judgments, but ultimately exercised judicial restraint given the negligible financial scale of the dispute.
