Under the EPCG exemption, Notification No. 97/2004-Cus. had to be read with the Foreign Trade Policy, and the dispute was confined to whether third-party exports could satisfy export obligation. The Tribunal found that, at the material time, the provisions were ambiguous on whether such exports had to be made from goods manufactured using the imported capital goods, and a later policy tightening could not be applied retrospectively.

The demand and penalties for those imports were set aside.
