Issues involved: Amendment of Duty Free Import Authorizations, interpretation of policy regarding imported goods.
Amendment of Duty Free Import Authorizations: The petitioners, holders of 30 Duty Free Import Authorizations, had submitted one authorization for amendment to import dry fruits and packing material. They also hold twelve similar licenses purchased from Parle Products Private Limited and applied for amending them to include dry fruits and packing materials. Despite the applications, they had not received any communication from the respondents. The Court directed the respondents to decide on the license amendments within eight weeks, leaving other issues open for future consideration if the petitioners remain aggrieved. Interpretation of policy regarding imported goods: The petitioners' counsel argued that the imported items could be brought in even if not used in the exported material, citing licenses issued between specific dates. On the other hand, the respondents' counsel contended that the goods sought for amendment could only be used by actual exporters. The Court declined to delve into the controversy, deferring the decision to the respondents as the matter was still pending before them. The Court emphasized that the ends of justice would be met by directing the respondents to make a decision on the license amendments within the specified timeframe.
