Whether the Modified Rehabilitation Scheme (MRS) sanctioned by BIFR included waiver of customs demand: court found Customs had full opportunity to object, BIFR's language "to consider" applied to Income-tax and Central Excise but the scheme explicitly addressed non-fulfilment of export obligations under DGFT and referenced the Rs.81.60 lakh demand identical to the Customs O-O; consequence - the challenge that no positive direction was issued on the Rs.81.60 lakh demand was rejected and the demand falls within the MRS.
