Cochin Customs under Chief Commissioner, Central Excise, Cochin
In DDT - 679 16.08.2007 it was mentioned, There is a CC, Central Excise in Cochin, but the Cochin Customs is under the control of CC, Bangalore. The basis for deciding jurisdiction seems to be anything other than public interest.
Now the Cochin Chief Commissioner of Central Excise is given jurisdiction over Cochin Customs too and the Chief Commissioner, Bangalore will have jurisdiction only over Bangalore and Mangalore. Incidentally the Chief Commissioner, Cochin is retiring this month end.
