HC held that Acrylonitrile (ACN) imported by petitioner for manufacture of synthetic rubber is used exclusively for non-insecticidal purposes and therefore falls within the exemption under Section 38(b) of the Insecticides Act, 1968. Consequently, none of the provisions of the Act, including Section 9 on mandatory registration, apply to such imports. As there is no statutory or notified requirement for an import permit for ACN, the Public Notice F. No. 04-01/2022-CIR-I dated 17.02.2022, insofar as it mandates import permits for non-insecticidal use of ACN, was held ultra vires and quashed to that extent. The petition was allowed in favour of the petitioner.
