1984 (3) TMI 62 - SC - Income TaxWhether the interim order under cl. 8B of the Import (Control) is of a drastic character with great potential for mischief? Held that:- High Court was not right in granting interim relief in the terms in which it had done so. We, therefore, vacate the interim order dated November 22, 1983, made by the Calcutta High Court. It has been pointed out to us that the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports has himself issued a public notice dated September 1, 1983, permitting re-shipment/re-export of import consignments which could not be cleared consequent upon the Ministry of Commerce, Import Trade Control Order No. 27 of 1983 dated August 24, 1983. The public notice empowers the customs authority to allow re-shipment/re-export having regard to the extent to which foreign exchange spent on import will be earned back and subject to such other conditions relating thereto as the customs authority may impose. We wish to make it clear that the vacating of the interim order will not disentitle the writ petitioners from seeking and taking advantage of the public notice dated September 1, 1983. Appeal allowed.
