https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=273219 A total ban on export of teak wood in sawn sizes was found to fail the test of reasonableness under Article 19(1)(g) read with Article 19(6) because the record disclosed no relevant material or intelligible criteria to justify the restriction, and the classification and date-based distinctions were held discriminatory and disproportionate. The Court also accepted promissory estoppel, noting that exporters had acted on an earlier policy permitting such exports by entering firm contracts and receiving advance payments, so separate proof of detriment was unnecessary once their position had altered in reliance on the representation. The restriction was struck down and export licences were directed for qualifying pre-ban contracts. en-us Mon, 29 Jan 1979 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Jun 2018 12:11:23 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=273219 A total ban on export of teak wood in sawn sizes was found to fail the test of reasonableness under Article 19(1)(g) read with Article 19(6) because the record disclosed no relevant material or intelligible criteria to justify the restriction, and the classification and date-based distinctions were held discriminatory and disproportionate.
