2017 (9) TMI 764 - HC - CustomsRequest for inspection of public file with the Designated Authority (DA) - levy of anti dumping duty - delay in making request - Held that: - the Petitioner claims that the Petitioner became aware of the Notification dated 17th February 2017 only in the second week of May, 2017 and therefore could not make the above request earlier. This explanation is not convincing. The Notification, having been gazzetted, is presumed to have been in the knowledge of the Petitioner. Further, the provisional duty during the period of investigation was already in force for more than a year and was to the knowledge of the Petitioner. It appears to the Court that, having missed its opportunity of filing its appeal in the CESTAT within time, the Petitioner was seeking to build an alibi to explain its delay and therefore applied for inspection of the DA’s file - petition dismissed - decided against petitioner.
