Not Necessary for Custom Broker to Keep Continuous Surveillance at Physical Address of Exporters: Delhi HC Restores Licence

The Delhi High Court restored the license of a custom broker, ruling that it is not necessary for brokers to keep continuous surveillance at the physical address of exporters. The court noted that expecting custom brokers to ensure physical surveillance is unreasonable and beyond the scope of their duties. The ruling highlighted that while brokers must exercise due diligence, they cannot be held liable for maintaining continuous physical surveillance. This decision reinforces the scope of responsibilities for custom brokers and provides clarity on their obligations under customs regulations.
