The court found that GE CF-34-8E5 engines were certified by DGCA as civil aviation engines with type rating certificates, making them exempt from SCOMET restrictions per Clause 8A901.1.A. Despite respondent's argument about dual-use potential for military purposes, the court held that DRDO had cleared the engines for civilian application and petitioner provided end-user certificates confirming civil use.
