8700104 and 8707042 and that the Customs Duty
assessed is on the basis of numbers and not weight. Further
refuting the charge of violation of Regulation 11(n) that the
Appellant failed to present KYC documents to the investigating
agency; and that the Appellant has not verified that
antecedents, correctness of IEC Number, identity of his client
and functioning' of his client at the declared address by using

Vat Registration and obtained the authority letter from
importers and being completely satisfied with the documents
filed the bills of entry in question, that the Appellant verified the

and then only filed the concerned bills of entry and that it is
also wrong to say that the companies were existing on paper
only because Officers of DRI had investigated the office
premises of the importers for whom the Appellant filed the Bills
of Entry and no such companies were found existing on the
given address, contrary to such claim, the fact is that all the
three importers presented themselves before DRI as and when
called upon to do so and have tendered their statements under
section 108 of the Customs Act. They have also deposited
certain amounts as desired by DRI. He relied upon the case law
in G.N.D. Cargo Movers vs. CC (General), New Delhi [2017
(357) E.L.T. 1184 (Tri-Del)] wherein it has been held that
charge of violation of Regulation 11(n) regarding failure to
verify the antecedents, correctness of the IEC number, and
identity of the client does not sustain when IEC number is found
to be correct as also the address of the importer. Further all the
importers have joined the investigations He further argued that
there is no allegation of any pecuniary benefit to the Appellant
nor there is any evidence that the Appellant had wrongly
advised the importers. He cited certain case laws which
suggested that the CHA cannot be penalized for the wrong
declarations made by the importers. He lastly argued that the
revocation of Licence is likely to affect the livelihood of many
persons and hence the impugned order should not be allowed to
sustain. On the other hand the Learned DR has reiterated the
11 CUS/50906 of 2018
findings in the impugned order and has argued that the
revocation and forfeiture of security deposit be sustained.
