https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=235805 A subordinate import condition requiring registration under the Insecticides Act, 1968 before importing boric acid for non-insecticidal use was invalid because it conflicted with the statutory exemption for substances used for industrial or other non-insecticidal purposes. Section 9(1) governs registration of insecticides, but Section 38 excludes the exempted substance from that regime when so intended, so the authorities were not obliged to process a registration request for that use. A condition that cannot be complied with in law and is inconsistent with the parent and allied plenary legislation is arbitrary and unreasonable; the impugned import-condition was therefore unsustainable and liable to be quashed. en-us Wed, 15 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 05 Aug 2013 14:11:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=235805 A subordinate import condition requiring registration under the Insecticides Act, 1968 before importing boric acid for non-insecticidal use was invalid because it conflicted with the statutory exemption for substances used for industrial or other non-insecticidal purposes.
