Issues: Whether the rejection of the MEIS reward claim on account of blank shipping bills warranted a fresh examination by the authority and a speaking order.
Analysis: The claim arose under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme framed under the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act and the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20. The shipping bills had been left blank by inadvertence, causing the electronic system to treat them as a "No" by default, and the authority had not examined the claim on merits. In these circumstances, the Court directed the respondent to re-examine the 16 EDI shipping bills afresh by treating the petitioner's submissions as a "Yes", after granting a personal hearing and calling for all relevant documents.
Conclusion: The authority was directed to reconsider the petitioner's MEIS entitlement afresh and pass a speaking order within the stipulated time.
