Kochi: The Kerala high court on Tuesday allowed reopening of the duty free shop at Trivandrum International Airport that was closed following alleged tax evasion and illegal sales of liquor by misusing traveler data.
An interim order allowing reopening of the duty-free shop run by Namakkal, Tamil Nadu-based Plus Max Duty Free Pvt Ltd was issued by the court after considering a petition filed by the company challenging the orders issued by Customs cancelling its licence and directing closure of the shop.
The company had stated in the petition that there as unauthorized access of its database in December last year, particularly documents to be submitted to Customs, and that a police complaint was lodged at Namakkal. On the basis of an anonymous complaint, Customs issued summons to the company’s local manager and inspected its warehouse and duty free shop but got no incriminatory evidence.
Enquiry by customs continued and customs commissioner Sumit Kumar issued an order suspending the company’s licence and superintendent of Air Customs of the airport ordered for closing the shop, the petition said.
