Issues: Whether the petitioner was entitled to exemption and consequential relief under Policy Circular No. 7/2002 for third party exports despite failure to produce shipping bills containing both the names of the third party and the EPCG licence holder.
Analysis: The claim turned on clause (v) of Policy Circular No. 7/2002, which made the relaxation for third party exports conditional upon the relevant shipping bills containing both the names of the third party and the licence holder. The authorities had granted opportunities to produce the shipping bills, but the petitioner did not establish compliance with that condition through the documents produced. In an exemption framework, the benefit could be extended only when the stipulated condition was satisfied, and not on the basis of incomplete supporting material.
Conclusion: The petitioner was not entitled to the claimed exemption, and the rejection of the request was upheld.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition failed because the mandatory condition attached to the exemption scheme was not shown to have been fulfilled.
Ratio Decidendi: A benefit under an exemption or relaxation circular can be granted only upon proof of compliance with the specific condition attached to it, and where the stipulated shipping-bill particulars are not established, the claim must fail.
