of <h1>Court stays Director General of Foreign Trade's notifications on importing peas, citing potential violations of Foreign Trade Act</h1> <h3>GR Enterprises Versus Union Of India</h3> GR Enterprises Versus Union Of India - TMI Issues involved:Violation of Section 3 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulations) Act, 1992 by the Director General of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Commerce & Industry; Unreasonable restriction on import of commodities like peas in the impugned notification; Prima facie examination of the orders issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade.Analysis:The petitioner's counsel argued that two notifications issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade had been stayed by the Madras High Court, highlighting a controversy regarding the exercise of power in violation of Section 3 of the Foreign Trade Act. The counsel contended that unreasonable restrictions were imposed on importing commodities like peas. On the other hand, the respondent's counsel requested time to verify the outcome of the interim order before the Madras High Court, which was due for consideration on the same day. The Court noted a previous interim order in a related case and observed that the impugned notifications were not in line with the requirements of the Foreign Trade Act, necessitating further examination.The Court directed the respondent's counsel to file a reply to the writ petition within two weeks. In the interim, the operation and effect of several notifications were stayed. It was clarified that the respondent's counsel could apply for the vacation of the interim order if needed. The matter was listed for further hearing on a specific date.This judgment primarily addressed the legality of notifications issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade and the imposition of restrictions on imports, emphasizing compliance with statutory provisions. The Court's decision to stay the notifications pending further review indicates a serious concern regarding the potential violation of the Foreign Trade Act.
