The case CSR 360/2008 referred to Royal Fernwood Porcelain Limited which was brought to a close on March 31, 2009 when Royal Fernwood Porcelain Limited paid the Customs Rs 2.6 million.
But before the case ended, Peiris had on March 9, 2009 sent the Director General of the Customs Department a letter.
Legal experts say such conduct on the part of Peiris was against the norms of the profession.
