ISLAMABAD: A single bench of the Customs Appellate Tribunal comprising member, Syed Muhammad Anwar, disposed of a case filed by Wasif Hussain against Model Collectorate of Customs (MCC). The bench dismissed the petitioner’s submission on release of vehicle.
The bench also heard other cases filed by M/s Lucky Enterprises and Haq Nawaz. Both of these cases had been filed during 2016 and were pending with the tribunal. M/s Lucky Enterprises had challenged a customs duty assessment sustained by the adjudication.
Haq Nawaz had filed cases regarding release of vehicles which were seized by customs authorities amid attempt to smuggling various items.
The appellants had challenged department’s adjudication decision before the bench through the said cases. Adjudication had maintained charges against appellants during departmental hearings.
During previous hearing, the bench had adjourned the hearing of said cases due to absence of responding counsels from the tribunal. However, the bench then had asked the assisting counsels on the provision of relating documents by the both sides.
These appellants had also filed some other cases before the tribunal which were being heard by other benches.
