Issues:Challenge to Government of India Notification imposing preimport condition on imports under advanced authorization licenses.Analysis:The petitioner challenged a Government of India Notification dated 13.10.2017, imposing a preimport condition on imports made under advanced authorization licenses. The petitioner argued that the preimport condition was unconstitutional and unclear. An order dated 17th October, 2018 stayed proceedings arising from notices issued by DRI authorities at Kolkata, seeking compliance with the preimport condition. The issue raised in this petition was addressed in a previous judgment by the court in the case of Messrs Maxim Tubes Company Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India. The court, in its decision on 04/02/2019, declared the preimport condition as ultra vires the Advance Authorization Scheme and struck it down. Consequently, all proceedings initiated for violation of the preimport condition were deemed invalid. As a result, the preimport condition contained in the Foreign Trade Policy and related notifications was declared ultra vires, leading to the disposal of the present petition without further adjudication.
