The DGFT argued that since the MEIS scheme expired on 28th February 2022, applications could not be processed. The HC rejected this argument, noting the petitioner had applied for shipping bill amendments in April 2018 when the scheme was active. The court held that scheme expiration does not negate accrued benefits, especially when administrative delays prevented timely processing. The HC directed respondents to process the applications and release eligible scrips within 15 days, emphasizing that government departments must act timely to avoid prejudicing individual rights. en-us Mon, 20 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 30 Jan 2025 08:24:29 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=765320 The Bombay HC ruled in favor of the petitioner seeking MEIS scrips for 50 shipping bills.
