Issues: Whether the authorities were implementing the minimum import price notifications on imports of Soda Ash and whether directions were required for strict enforcement of the import policy.
Analysis: The petitioner sought enforcement of the notifications fixing and extending the minimum import price for Soda Ash. The authorities stated that the notifications were being strictly implemented for imports where the bills of entry or bills of lading were issued after the notifications, and that instances of imports below the minimum import price were explained by the date of the bill of lading. The Court also noted the office memorandum issued to Customs authorities requiring implementation of the prevailing import policy in letter and spirit. In view of these assurances and explanations, the Court found that the notifications were already being enforced and that there was no indication of any intention to permit violation of the policy.
Conclusion: The issue was answered in favour of ensuring continued strict implementation of the notifications, and directions were issued to all Customs authorities and CBIC to enforce them in letter and spirit.
Final Conclusion: The writ petition was disposed of with directions for strict compliance by the Customs authorities and the CBIC.
