I don't speak for the NCC but IIRC the NCC checks that *a* technical
need for the assignment still exist, *not* that it is the same topology
as 10 years ago when the block was first assigned.
In real network operations, the network does not stay the same forever,
what was assigned to a router 3 years ago may be assigned to a mail
server or a DSL line today.

If there still is a need for the assignemnt, nothing happens. If not,
the assignment must be returned to the LIR.
The NCC has no authority over who a LIR does business with.
