HC upheld CESTAT's decision against cancellation of customs broker license. While KYC documents were submitted, the Department alleged unexplained procurement methods and business irregularities involving an exporter's misused IEC code. Court determined permanent license revocation was disproportionate, noting respondent had already faced significant consequences through temporary suspension. No substantial violation of Regulation 17(9) of Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2013 was established in the original order. Finding no substantial question of law, HC dismissed the appeal, maintaining CESTAT's ruling that preserved broker's operating rights.
