ISLAMABAD: The Customs Appellate Tribunal dated in office the hearing of M/s Lucky Enterprises customs reference owing to absence of counsels from the tribunal.
A single bench of the tribunal comprising member, Syed Muhammad Anwar, heard the case filed by M/s Lucky Enterprises. Earlier, the tribunal had asked the counsels to prepare for final arguments in the customs reference pending with the tribunal for some weeks.
M/s Lucky Enterprises had filed the case against Model Customs Collectorate, challenging 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.
During the last hearing, the bench had dismissed Haq Nawaz’s customs reference filed against field office of Federal Board of Revenue for non-prosecution.
The bench had also held hearing on said matter before. But these cases were pending with the tribunal. The bench had directed the concerned counsels to fully assist the bench on the matters in order to reach a just and fair decision.
