The HC addressed a challenge to a Central Government Office Memorandum that rejected the DGTR's recommendations for imposing Anti-Dumping Duty. During proceedings, counsel for the domestic industries (respondents) informed the court that they had already communicated to the Government their decision not to pursue their rights under the DGTR's recommendations. Since the domestic industry no longer sought imposition of ADD, the challenge to the Office Memoranda became moot, and the CESTAT order was rendered infructuous. The HC disposed of the writ petitions as infructuous, accepting the respondents' position that they no longer contested the government's decision.
