2017 (3) TMI 342 - HC - CustomsPermission to Export Shark Fins - prohibited item - export of Shark Fins was prohibited as per N/N. 110 (RE-2013)/ 2009-2014 dated 06.02.2015 issued by the Director General of Foreign Trades, New Delhi, and that this Court has stayed the above notification up to 09.03.2016, the Purchase Order was dated 18.02.2016 and there was sufficient time for fulfilling the export obligation as the stay was up to 09.03.2016 - Held that: - The fact remains, 3,788 Kgs. of Dried Shark Fins, admittedly collected by the petitioner before 09.03.2016, are remaining with the petitioner. There is no local market for the Shark Fins, according to the petitioner. I am of the considered opinion that if the Shark Fins are not exported, and if there is no local market for the same, it transforms itself into huge waste, and the Government of India suffer adverse financial consequences, even though in a small measure. There is every possibility that the same could generate as a waste, and thereby create environmental pollution also, adding to the already existing adverse environmental conditions - a further short period can be provided to the petitioner to export the same - petition allowed - decided in favor of petitioner.
