2017 (12) TMI 783 - HC - CustomsNon-fulfillment of export obligations within time - extension of export obligation period - the stocks of white sugar produced by the petitioner were placed under the control of the District Magistrate and the petitioner was unable to export the same - Held that: - this Court is not persuaded to accept that the petitioner was entitled to any extension of the export obligation period and this Court finds no infirmity in the decision of the respondents to reject such request - it is not necessary to consider the petitioner's contention regarding the applicability of HoP/FTP 2015-20 to the Advance Authorisation in question. However, for the sake of completeness, it would be apposite to consider the said question as well. The petitioner has no vested right for grant of extension of the export obligation period and thus its application for extension would necessarily have to be considered as per the policy in force. Undisputedly, as per the policy applicable on 23.06.2015, an extension for purpose of discharging the export obligation in respect of import of raw sugar could not be granted beyond a period of six months. Thus, even if it is assumed that the petitioner had made out a genuine case of hardship – which this Court finds that the petitioner has not – no extension beyond a period of six months for completion of the export obligation could be granted. Petition dismissed.
