1992 (5) TMI 23 - SUPREME COURTWhether the export of the subject goods is barred, expressly or by necessary implication, by the provisions of the Customs Act or any other law in force? Held that:- The interpretation of the O.G.L. that has commended itself to us (viz. that the import of the goods is permitted only for use in India) was also the one which the CCIE had formed and this opinion he had formulated in his two letters dated 10-10-1988 and 27-1-1989. As we have already pointed out, the CCIE's opinion on the Import and Export Control Order is final and binding. In view of this, when the CCIE came to know that the appellant was seeking to export the goods, he could have intervened and issued directions under clause 10C either permitting the export of the goods to the U.S.S.R. or directing them to be sold to needy hospitals or other parties in India. He could have effectively stopped the export of the goods. This shows that the export of the goods is not free or unrestricted as made out by the learned counsel for the appellant. We uphold the order of the Tribunal and dismiss the appeal
