of <h1>Court upholds Union Govt's meat export notification requiring abattoir registration for quality control</h1> <h3>AL Zubair Exporter Versus UOI and Ors.</h3> AL Zubair Exporter Versus UOI and Ors. - 2012 (276) E.L.T. 442 (Bom.) Issues:Challenge to notification issued by Union Government regarding export of meat and meat products.Analysis:1. The Petitioner challenged a notification issued by the Union Government, requiring exporters to certify that meat products are sourced from APEDA registered abattoirs. The Petitioner argued the notification was discriminatory and violated fundamental rights under Article 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Respondents justified the notification to ensure quality control and hygiene standards in meat exports.2. The Petitioner, an exporter of buffalo meat, was registered with APEDA, a statutory body for agricultural and processed food product exports. The Export (Quality Control and Inspection) Act, 1963 and subsequent rules mandated registration of abattoirs with APEDA to maintain export quality standards. The notification aimed to prevent illegal slaughter and ensure meat quality.3. The High Court upheld the validity of the notification, clarifying that both meat processing plants and abattoirs must be APEDA registered for exports. The Court found the notification to be clarificatory, ensuring quality control and hygiene standards in meat exports. The Court emphasized the importance of compliance with APEDA regulations for maintaining export quality.4. Referring to a similar judgment by the Delhi High Court, the Bombay High Court allowed the Petitioner to make representations for setting up integrated abattoirs and transitional arrangements. The Court directed the Competent Authority to expedite decisions on representations and existing meat stocks. The Petition was dismissed, emphasizing compliance with APEDA regulations for meat exports.
