The measure was treated as a restriction on the manner of import, not a total prohibition, and was justified as necessary to prevent misuse of the import policy and to ensure administrative control. The Article 14 challenge failed because the classification had a rational nexus with the object of preventing abuse, and the Article 301 objection was rejected because the restriction was viewed as a reasonable regulatory condition rather than a hostile restraint on trade. en-us Fri, 20 Jul 1990 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:16:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=80885 A control order under Section 3 of the Imports and Exports (Control) Act, 1947 was analysed as a regulatory measure fixing the ports through which woollen rags, synthetic rags and shoddy wool could be imported.
