1961 (8) TMI 27 - SC - CustomsDoes the fact that the petitioners have been granted licence approximately for 45% of the total value of the goods exported amount to discrimination entitling them to protection of Art. 14 of the Constitution ? Held that:- On the materials placed before the Committee.-.there. evidence to show that the record produced by the petitioners was unsatisfactory ; they were not satisfied that the prices which the petitioners said they had paid for purchasing the goods were in truth paid. If there was evidence to show that in respect of other persons who were in the opinion of the Committee found also to have inflated the prices 'in the manner adopted by the petitioners and still the Controller had granted import licences to those persons for the full amount of the export value or a percentage substantially in excess of the percentage for which import licence was granted to the petitioners, a case of discrimination could have been made out ; but in the absence of such evidence, we do not think that any case of discrimination is made out. Appeal dismissed.
