The petitioner appeared before the respondent no.2 and made its submissions with respect to its application for initiation of sunset review investigation. After two days of hearing, the respondent no.2 vide order dated 17.05.2018, rejected the application of the petitioner for initiation of sunset review investigation concerning imports of subject goods from the subject country. 3.7 Being aggrieved by the order dated 17.05.2018 passed by the respondent no.2, petitioner filed Special Civil Application No.12368 2018 before this Court praying for a direction to the respondent no.2 to initiate the sunset review investigation.

Assuming but not admitting that such power does exist, even then the same was required to be exercised before the expiry of the duty which as aforesaid was not possible in the facts of this case. ii. At the time of filing of the petition, the duties were due to expire within a week and therefore, intervention of the Court was needed to grant interim extension of the duties. However, since there is no ancillary power under Section 9C in the nature of powers under Article 226, the tribunal would not have been able to grant interim extension of the duties. In view thereof, the alternative remedy would not have been efficacious. Therefore, the judgment of Jindal Poly Films is not applicable in the facts of this case. iii. Since the duties were due to expire within a week of the issue of the impugned order by the Respondent no.2, the tribunal would not have been in a position to dispose of the matter within time. Therefore, no effective alternative remedy was available to the petitioner oth....

Despite such observations, adjustments were made to this data to reach absurd results on export price and hence the conclusion reached on the basis of such data cannot hold ground. Clearly, the analysis of the respondent no.2 was based on negligible imports in the context of domestic market and that too of dissimilar product which amounts to no imports at all leading to the situation identical to one of 2013. 7. The petitioner submitted that there was stark contradiction between the conclusion reached by the respondent no.2 in the earlier sunset review investigation and the present sunset review investigation in completely identical circumstances. The petitioner provided a comparative chart comparing the conclusion and methodology of the respondent no.2 in earlier sunset review investigation and the present sunset review investigation. This comparison clearly go to show that the impugned conclusions arrived at by respondent no.2 are arbitrary. For else of reference, the same is attached again as Appendix-A. 8.

....the matter. 13. The petitioner submitted that the respondent no.2 failed to appreciate that the improvement in the economic parameters of the petitioner was only on account of the anti- dumping duties in place against the imports of the subject goods. The petitioner refuted the submission of the respondent no.2 that there was no injury being faced by the Domestic Industry. The petitioner submitted that the present case being one related to sunset review of the duties already in place, the absence of current injury becomes irrelevant. The whole argument of the respondent was based on the fact that there has been improvement in the economic parameters of the Domestic Industry. However, the same does not take into account the fact that in sunset review proceedings, likelihood of injury takes importance over current injury. Therefore, even in a situation where there is absence of current injury, the duties are required to be continued if there is a likelihood of injury in case of cessation of duties. 14. The petitioner has also substantiated that the findings are perverse in nature for aforesaid reasons and also would shock the conscience of the Court as reliance has ....

....ng the responding producer/exporter SGPL from China, the Authority has not been able to determine the ex-factory export price for the POI and the post POI period. Present Sunset review Findings 35. The Authority notes that imports of subject goods from China during POI is to the tune of 73MT at Rs. 1,54,000 per MT. It is further noted that the price of import is abnormal, which is established by the fact that the DI is selling the subject goods at approx. Rs.*** per MT only. It is noted that the import statistics of this item points to either misclassification of the import item or it not being the like article. However, the Authority has also calculated the export price based on the available import data. Export price has been adjusted for ocean freight, marine insurance, port expenses, commission, inland freight and indirect taxes (VAT) which may have been incurred by the exporter for exporting material to India, in order to put normal value and export price at the same leveled of trade. The export price to be determined is as Rs.*** per MT. Comments In the present case, the Authority despite nothing that the price of import is abnormal and the import statics of this ....

....event of cessation of anti dumping duty, particularly in a situation where a significant part of these exports are at dumped prices and are likely to cause injury to the domestic industry. Thus, any determination made on the basis of weighted average price of exports could be highly misleading. The facts of the present case in fact have established that even when weighted average price of exports is above normal value, a significant portion of these exports are at dumped and injurious price. The Authority thus considers to take into account the average export price of dumped and injurious transactions from China to all countries (other than India). Present Sunset review Findings No such examination. Comments Likely export price from China has not been computed in the impugned Final Findings despite information the regarding the same submitted by the petitioner.

....edure is followed in impugned Final Findings. Surplus capacities in China 1st (earlier) Sunset review Findings 76. From the data/information available with the Authority, it is noted that the total volume of exports from China PR to other countries during the POI was 4,88,530 MT at an average FOB price of Rs. 39,196 per MT, out of which 1,13,641 MT (23%) was at dumped prices as well as at prices which are lower than the non-injurious price of the Domestic Industry. The demand of the subject goods in India during the POI was 6,64,628 MT. This 23% of the total exports from China which are at dumped as well as injurious prices constitute 17% of the total demand in India. This 17% is substantial volume and assumes great significance considering the fact that there is huge capacity available in China; none of the major producers/exporters from China as well as importers in India have responded to the investigation and if the total demand in India is seen, there is every likelihood that if the anti-dumping duties are revoked, the percentage of dumped as well as injurious exports to India are likely to increase and take away major portion of the India demand. Further, even if the....

In fact, a diagonally opposite stance has been taken by the Designated Authority despite exactly similar information being on record.

Considering the facts available on record with regard to the likely prices to India and the fact that there are huge production capacities in China and that none of the major producers/exporters from China as well as importers in India have responded to the investigation, the Authority determines that if the existing duties are removed, there is every likelihood of the subject goods coming to India at dumped prices which are further likely to cause injury to the domestic industry.

....round 34 producers in China PR is around 72,70,000 MT. This is more than 3 times the capacity of the domestic industry in India and 4.6 times and 4.2 times the demand and production of the subject goods in India. If such quantities are diverted to India at the likely prices, injury to the domestic industry is imminent. The legal requirement in this regard is to only establish the likelihood or preponderance of probability that the surplus goods are likely to come into the country. 25. Respondent no.2 submits that it has given due consideration to the aforesaid submissions by the applicants in its examination of the export prices of the subject goods from China PR to third countries. In its consideration of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury, Respondent no.2 arrived at the following findings. a. Present and continued imports During the P01, the import of the subject goods was a mere 73 MT. As per the domestic industry itself, in the post-POI period, there was no "likelihood" of importation of subject goods as no Chinese producer/exporter was understood to have participated in any contract for supply of the subject goods.

....ve years. At the time of the impugned sunset review investigation, anti-dumping duty was in force for more than 10 years. This would have greatly reduced the proclivity for exporters from China PR to export the subject goods to India. b. Secondly, in the previous sunset review investigation, the economic parameters of the domestic industry had not improved, were weak. However, in the current sunset review investigation, the economic performance of the domestic industry had improved. c. For ease of comparison, the respondent no.2 has reproduced the comparable economic parameters from the previous SSR investigation and the impugned SSR investigation in the table which is produced on page 368 of Affidavit in reply filed by the respondent (internal page 26 of the reply). Which may be seen to understand the difference in the economic performance in the two injury periods. d. As can be seen from the date produced on page 368 of the Affidavit in Reply (internal page 26), in the previous sunset review, the domestic industry, was incurring losses, faced declining cash profits, low return on investment and had high levels of accumulated inventory.

Likelihood of likely to  lead to  continuation or recurrence  of dumping and injury: 14. The Domestic Industry humbly submits that the fact that there have been no exports from China proves that the Chinese exports cannot compete with the Indian producers unless they indulge in dumping activities. However, it may be added that there is every likely hood of huge potential imports if the duties are not extended. Detailed reasons for this have already been explained in Annexure 11 of the application filed with the Authority. Briefly, we would like to submit as under: a. Domestic Industry has procured transaction-wise import data (attached as Annexure 2) indicating expor....

....d that at these prices, if the excess capacity is diverted to India, injury to Domestic Industry is imminent. 16. In view of the above, it is amply clear that the dumping margin as well as the injury margin are likely to be positive without any doubt if the anti-dumping duties are not extended. In such a scenario, withdrawal of anti-dumping duties will certainly allow the manufacturers and exporters of the subject goods from China to freely dump the subject goods to the detriment of the Indian industry."

The Domestic Industry has made the following submissions: (i) Normal value for China PR has to be determined in terms of the provisions for non-market economy countries. (ii) Since no producer / exporter from China has responded to the notices issued by the Authority, Para 7 of the Annexure I of the AD Rules should be followed by the Authority for the determination of Normal Value. Normal Value cannot be determined on the basis of price or constructed value in a market economy third country for the reason that the relevant information is not publicly available. In order to arrive at Normal Value on this basis, the Authority shall require complete and exhaustive verifiable information on all domestic....

They have submitted that export price to Saudi Arabia may be considered as the most appropriate by the Authority as China ex- ports 32% of D I Pipes to Saudi Arabia and the significance of water distribution is similar in the two countries. The Authority does not find any merit in this submission made by the Domestic Industry and considers exports to worlds as per the transaction wise data of HS International Inc.

As regards the submission of SGPL that only the weighted average price to rest of the world should be taken into consideration for the purpose of estimating the likely export price to India, the Authority notes that even if weighted average price of exports from China to globally is above normal value, the same does not mean that dumping from China is unlikely in the event of cessation of anti dumping duty, particularly in a situation where a significant part of these ex- ports are at dumped prices and are likely to cause injury to the domestic indus....

The importance of such huge production capacities and exports by the Chinese producers/exporters cannot be ignored. 80. Having regard to the contentions raised, information provided and submissions made by the interested parties and facts available before the Authority and on the basis of above analysis including analysis of likelihood of continuation of dumping and injury, the Authority determines that: i. The constructed Normal Value and the likely net export price to India clearly indicate the likelihood of dumping from China PR if the existing duties are allowed to be revoked.

This Court is of the view that the Court at this stage need not go into the aspect of the tribunal's power to issue direction to the Central Government in exercise of the power u/s.9C(3) for extending the anti dumping duty notification. The vital facts and time-line of the instant case are itself sufficient to indicate that the remedy of appeal in a present case could not have been said to be an efficacious remedy so as to give sufficient opportunity to the petitioner for seeking appropriate relief after availing the opportunity of putting forward their case.
