The HC upheld that the DGFT notification relied on powers under Sections 3 and 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 and on paragraphs 1.02 and 2.01 of the FTP, recognising the Central Government's competence to amend the FTP and to regulate imports by prohibition or restriction.
