The licence has not been produced before me inspite of the Show Cause Notice dated 14-1-81 requiring them speci- fically to produce the same.
4. From the photo copy of the forw aiding memo and licence produced before me it is seen that the same was purported to be signed by Miss S. K. Grewal, Joint Chief Contioller of Impo ts and Fxports with security seal and rubber stamp. As these arc functions performed by junior officers like Conl- roller/Asstt. Ch'ef Controller, this endoisemcnt cannot be accepted as genuine. The undersigned therefore has come to the conclusion that the above licence No. 2920070 dated 1-1-80 has been forged by the licensee himself or through his abetment and that the licensee has comimitfed a breach of the conditions of the licence and rules and regulations relating to import of goods and therefore the licence will not serve the purpose for which it was issued. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the licence is rendered ineffective immediately.
