2003 (3) TMI 115 - SC - Customs

Summary

Summary of the legal judgment:

The Supreme Court set aside the impugned order without giving reasons. The Designated Authority was directed to consider if the closure of Birla Periclase factory was due to dumping by Chinese exporters, assess the justification of continuing anti-dumping duty, and review the levy of duty from February 2, 1999. The Designated Authority was given 3 months to complete the review, with existing import arrangements to continue. If duty is justified, importers must honor bonds, and duties collected will abide by the review result. The Appeals were disposed of with no costs.
