2018 (11) TMI 772 - HC - CustomsImport of restricted item - Chickpeas - Notification dated 30/08/2018 - petitioner's grievance is that the petitioner should be permitted to import Peas in respect of all contracts entered by the petitioner prior to imposition of restriction without insisting upon the condition of 100% deposit as advance payment. Held that:- The Division Bench of Bombay High Court in the case of Taj Agro Commodities Pvt. Ltd. Vs. Union of India and Others [2018 (7) TMI 928 - BOMBAY HIGH COURT] has dealt with the similar issue of restriction on import of Peas and the restriction imposed in the matter from time to time. The Division Bench of Bombay High Court by a detailed and exhaustive order has upheld the restriction imposed by Government of India. The restrictions imposed by Government of India were justified. The farmers of the country were not getting the price in respect of Peas produced by them and large quantity of exports was affecting the farmers of the country adversely. We are all aware that in our country, there are large number of suicides by farmers, they still belongs to lower strata of society. It has become very difficult for them to meet both the ends and therefore, the restriction so imposed can never said to be in violation of Article 19(6) of the Constitution of India. The respondents were justified in imposing restrictions by issuing notifications - there is no reason to interfere with the notifications issued by the Government of India from time to time - petition dismissed.
