What is the legal meaning of supervision?
Can an officer be held responsible for the act of his subordinate whom he is supposed to supervise.
Eg: Can a shed appraiser who is supposed to do the supervisiom of a shed examiner in customs be held responsible if examiner reports him false in terms of quantity of the goods imported.
Role of shed appraiser: check classification, quality, and documents of imported items along with supervision of shed examiner.
Role of shed examiner: check description, weight, quantity and report it to his shed appraiser.
If shed examiner report the number as 7 instead of 17, is shed appraiser responsible for the quantity misreported to the higher authorities?
