ISLAMABAD: The Customs Appellate Tribunal adjourned the hearing of a customs reference involving M/s Warid Telecom (Private) Limited on Friday.
A division bench of the Customs Appellate Tribunal comprising members, Syed Muhammad Anwar and Muhammad Nasir Khan, heard the case. The bench had adjourned the hearing after respondent’s counsel sought time to furbish details of the case.
M/s Warid Telecom had filed the case against Model Coollectorate of Customs, Islamabad in 2016. Through the petition, the company had challenged a decision announced by the adjudication for sustaining claims of recoverable customs duty of around Rs 40 million.
The tribunal had held the hearing of the matter during last week and had adjourned it for further arguments. The bench had asked the counsels involved to ensure their presence before the bench on the next date of hearing. The hearing of the case was adjourned owing to absence of main counsels from the tribunal. The tribune then had issued the directives through assisting counsels who had appeared instead of main counsels.
