Learned Judge after considering the Customs House Agents Licensing Regulations, 1984 held that the two year period mentioned in clause 8(3) of the above Regulations be construed with reference to the date of publication of the results and, therefore, the petitioner (respondent in this appeal) should be given another chance of oral examination on or before 22.3.2009. His request for a direction to continue the temporary licence till expiry was not accepted. We are of the opinion that no interference is required in the above order and no prejudice is also caused to the appellant in offering one chance to the respondent for an oral examination. We fully agree with the reasoning of the learned single Judge. The appeal is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE P.BHAVADASAN JUDGE tks
