Mohali DC cancels licence of immigration consultancy firm
Tribune News Service
Mohali, November 30
On charges of violating provisions under Section 4(1)(d) of the Punjab
Travel Professional Regulation Act for Consultancy Services, the Mohali
District Magistrate-cum-Deputy Commissioner today cancelled the licence
of World Wide Immigration Consultancy Services (WWICS) being run at
Phase 6 here.
“Now, the company cannot run its operations,” said Gurpreet Kaur Sapra, Mohali DM-cum-DC, after issuing the order this evening.
She said the company had concealed material facts regarding the
registration of the FIR and the members being NRIs, thereby violating
the provisions of the said Act at the time of applying for issuing the
licence in 2013.
“Therefore, the license (No. 03/MC-2, dated 29.08.2014) granted to the
WWICS has been cancelled with immediate effect under Section 6(1)(d) of
the aforesaid Act,” said Sapra.
In the order, the DM observed that Anuj Kaushal, authorised
representative of the WWICS, had applied for registration under the
Punjab Travel Professional Regulation Act for Consultancy Services in
this office on October 21, 2013. Following this, the license was issued
on the basis of documents produced by the applicant and police
verification reports, which did not reveal anything against the
applicant and company directors Lt Col Shri Baijit Singh Sandhu (retd)
and Davinder Singh Sandhu, both residents Sector 10-A, Chandigarh, at
that point of time.
“Later, it came to our notice that a case under Sections 420 and 188 of
the IPC and Section 24 of the Immigration Act - 1983 and Sections 177,
192, 199, 203 and 418 of the IPC has been registered against Baljit
Bingh Sandhu and Davinder Singh Sandhu at the Sector 17 police station,
Chandigarh, on February 1, 2012. It had also come out that both
directors were Canadian citizens. Thus, they could not apply for the
licence without taking approval from the Reserve Bank of India,” said
Sapra, adding that a show-cause notice was issued to them for concealing
facts at the time of application.
She said then the company had pleaded that the complaint was false and
the SIT had exonerated them and that they had unintentionally omitted
the mention of registration of the FIR in their application.
Later, as per the report of the SSP, Chandigarh, both directors had been acquitted on November 11, 2016.
Then after taking a legal opinion, the company was served a show-cause
notice for the cancellation of the licence on May 23, 2017. The personal
hearing of the company was also held before the Mohali’s Additional
District Magistrate on July 26 this year.
The company also apprised the authorities of filing a civil writ
petition in this connection. On November 27, Anuj Kaushal submitted an
application in which it was stated that the hearing on the civil writ
petition was now fixed for December 11.
