Bangalore: Courier company DHL Express India Pvt. Ltd. will not be able to book international consignments as the Karnataka High Court on Thursday refused to interfere with an order passed by the Bangalore Customs suspending its international courier operation licence.
Justice Jawad Rahim passed the order while rejecting the petition filed by DHL questioning the March 14 order of the Bangalore Customs.
The Commissioner of Customs had suspended the licence after 7 kg of gold was found concealed in a consignment of electronic goods, imported from Singapore, to be delivered to a Bangalore-based importer, Rotmac Distributors. The value of the seized gold is Rs. 2.14 crore.
This suspension order is applicable to DHL operations in Bangalore Customs jurisdiction.
The probe conducted after the seizure of six gold bars of 1 kg each and 10 gold bars of 100 grams each concealed in the imported seven desktop switches at the Kempegowda International Airport on March 11 had also revealed that the “address provided by Rotmac was non-existent”.
