FAISALABAD: Customs Adjudication Additional Collector Beelam-ur-Ramzan has issued a show cause notice to an alleged accused in a non-duty paid engine oil case involving Rs1.181million.
Faisalabad Customs Intelligence and Investigation, following a tip-off, impounded a used vehicle near Guttwala Toll plaza loaded with engine oil packed in a container.
The team asked driver Muhammad Imran Ali to show documents regarding the legal import of goods but he could not produce the same. Therefore officials impounded the engine oil under the customs bylaws and forwarded the case to Customs Adjudication for further legal action.
Now Additional Collector Beelam-ur-Ramzan issued a notice to accused on the violation of Section 10-A 89(1) and 156(1) of the Customs Act-1969. However the adjudication has directed the accused to file a reply on the next date of hearing. The seizing agency has also been directed to file a reply in the case.
The adjudication authority also directed Customs Intelligence Deputy Director Muhammad Riaz Hussain to attend the hearing on scheduled date along with the relevant record.
