Purposive interpretation of residential house exemption: unregistered purchase agreement alone does not defeat relief, but investment must be verified...
HC dismissed multiple writ petitions challenging customs license rejection and cancellation orders. The court held that since the Customs Act, 1962 provides an adequate statutory remedy through appeals, the writ petitions under Article 226 were not maintainable. The court referenced precedents emphasizing that when a specific statutory appeal mechanism exists, judicial review through writ jurisdiction is inappropriate. Consequently, all petitions were dismissed, with petitioners directed to utilize statutory appeal mechanisms if adverse orders are passed.
