https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=73451 Import under an open general licence was available only for intra uterine contraceptive devices actually approved by the Drugs Controller, and the importer had to prove that both conditions were met. The record showed the goods were not treated as a drug under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and that no Drugs Controller approval existed; a no-objection endorsement by a Technical Officer could not substitute for or delegate that approval. The goods were therefore outside the licence entry and confiscation was justified. The confiscation order was also not vitiated by nondisclosure, because the relied-upon correspondence had been made available and the importer had an opportunity to answer it, so no breach of natural justice was established. en-us Thu, 26 Mar 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:29:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=73451 Import under an open general licence was available only for intra uterine contraceptive devices actually approved by the Drugs Controller, and the importer had to prove that both conditions were met.
