Court quashes denial decision on importer/exporter code transfer due to director's association.
The court quashed the denial decision of transferring an importer/exporter code due to a director's association with a company under investigation. Emphasizing the need for controlling interest along with directorship for refusal under Rule 7(1)(f) of the Foreign Trade (Regulation) Rules, the court criticized the lack of communication and original records. The judgment allowed a two-month inquiry period into the director's controlling interest in the other company, failing which the code transfer should proceed. The writ petition was allowed, with parties bearing their own costs, and related applications were disposed of accordingly.

Analysis: 1.

The court interpreted the rule, emphasizing the necessity of both directorship and controlling interest for its application, clarifying that being a director alone is not sufficient. 4. The judgment highlighted the lack of communication of the denial order and the absence of original records, questioning the validity of the decision based on incomplete information. 5. The court quashed the denial decision, allowing an opportunity for an inquiry into the director's controlling interest in the other company within two months, failing which the code transfer should proceed. 6.
