Retrospective validation of customs actions precludes suits and affirms recoveries for export-oriented undertakings. The section declares the principal notification and its two amendments relating to hundred per cent. export-oriented undertakings to have been in force retrospectively from 11 May 1982, deeming actions by customs officers invested with Central Excise powers during that period to be valid. Recoveries made under such officers' orders are validated. Suits or proceedings against the Government or those officers for good-faith actions in discharge of Central Excise duties in that period are barred. The Central Board is deemed to have had power to confer retrospective effect and pre-1995 designations are treated as corresponding substituted designations; explanations address punishability and the definition of export-oriented undertaking.
