The case involved a penalty u/s 112(B) of the Customs Act, 1962 against an employee of a Customs House Agent (CHA) for allegedly concealing information affecting a bill of entry assessment. The tribunal found no evidence linking the employee to the concealed branded goods in the consignment, nor any indication of his involvement in handling the goods. Goods were confiscated u/s 111(m) due to incorrect declaration, but the employee was not proven aware of the branded products. As a result, the tribunal set aside the penalty, ruling in favor of the appellant.
