Authorities to decide within five weeks if exporter needs Narcotics Commissioner NOC and if product falls under Schedule-B (2013 Order)
The SC disposed the SLP and directed the concerned authorities to decide, within five weeks of receipt of the order, whether the applicant must obtain an NOC from the Narcotics Commissioner for exporting its product containing methyl ethyl ketone and whether that product falls under Schedule-B of the 2013 Order. The HC had dismissed the earlier petition, granting the applicant liberty to reply to the show-cause notice and undergo adjudication proceedings concerning confiscation and penalty.
The Supreme Court, comprising Hon'ble Chief Justice Sanjiv Khanna, Justice Sanjay Kumar, and Justice K.V. Viswanathan, issued an order regarding a special leave petition. The Court directed the concerned authorities to resolve the questions raised in the matter within five weeks from receiving the order. The Court emphasized that authorities should refrain from taking "coercive steps for detention and/or arrest" while adjudication is pending. The special leave petition was disposed of, granting respondents the liberty to file an application for recall of the order if necessary. Any pending applications were also disposed of.
