Court denies mandamus request for single authority in exports; multiple authorities can act. Directions issued to provide summons details.
The court denied the petitioner's request for a writ of mandamus to have only one authority proceed against them for exports. The court held that different authorities could act on the same transaction under different legislations. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Customs Authorities were directed to provide details of the summons and actions taken. No interim order was issued, and respondents were given three weeks to file an affidavit-in-opposition. The court reserved the question of the writ petition's maintainability for future review.
Issues: 1. Prayer for a writ of mandamus to resist coercive measures against the petitioner and to have only one authority proceed against the petitioner for exports. 2. Petitioner avoiding summons issued by Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Customs Authorities. 3. Whether different authorities can proceed against the petitioner for the same transaction under different legislations. 4. Validity of directing only one authority to proceed against the petitioner. 5. Decision on passing an interim order. 6. Direction for respondents to file affidavit-in-opposition within three weeks.
Analysis:
The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to prevent coercive measures and requested that only one authority handle the proceedings related to exports. The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and Customs Authorities stated that the petitioner had been evading their summons. The court opined that different authorities could act on the same transaction under various legislations they operate. Consequently, the request for a single authority to proceed against the petitioner was deemed invalid. The court directed the respondents to present the factual details of issued summons and actions taken. No interim order was issued, and the respondents were instructed to file their affidavit-in-opposition within three weeks, with a week provided for any replies. The court kept the question of the writ petition's maintainability open for future consideration.
