KARACHI: The Special Court of Customs Taxation and Anti-Smuggling put off the hearing of three cases till January 04, pertaining to fraudulent import of pharmaceutical raw material that caused millions of rupees loss to the national exchequer.
Judge Syed Faiz Rasool Rashdi adjourned the case due to absence of the counsel for the accused.
According to the details of the case, Muhammad Ali Chandna of Pure Enterprises and his other accomplices have been booked for importing pharmaceutical raw material from China and India by mis-declaring the description of the goods.
Pakistan Customs had unearthed the scam last year in which it found that Chandna, Ziauddin of Chemi Zone and Rajab Ali of M/s Rajab had fraudulently imported pharmaceutical raw material by declaring them as Preservative ACJC-240-430 under SDO-222 under HS Code 3824.9099.
