<h1>Supreme Court: No Duty Drawback for Cargo Sunk in Indian Waters</h1> <h3>UNION OF INDIA Versus RAJINDRA DYEING AND PRINTING MILLS LTD.</h3> UNION OF INDIA Versus RAJINDRA DYEING AND PRINTING MILLS LTD. - 2005 (180) E.L.T. 433 (S.C.) Issues: Duty drawback eligibility for destroyed cargo loaded for export.The Supreme Court held that the cargo loaded by the respondents, which sank within the territorial waters of India, did not qualify as an export under the Customs and Central Excise Duties Drawback Rules, 1971. The Court emphasized that for an export to occur, the goods must be taken out of India to a place outside India, beyond the territorial waters. Referring to a previous judgment, the Court clarified that high seas outside territorial waters would also qualify as a place outside India. Since the cargo was destroyed within Indian waters, no duty drawback was available. The civil appeal was allowed, and no costs were awarded.
