Domestic industry under Anti-Dumping Rules left open as Special Leave Petitions were disposed of as academic.

The Supreme Court treated the Special Leave Petitions as academic in view of the final duty notification and subsequent review proceedings, and disposed of them on that basis. The Court did not decide whether the meaning of "domestic industry" under Rule 2(b) of the Anti-Dumping Rules required adjudication in those petitions, and it expressly left that question open for decision in an appropriate case.
