2019 (8) TMI 919 - GUJARAT HIGH COURTExtension of Export Obligation period - EPCG Authorization Scheme - Foreign Trade Policy - seeking prospective extension for a period of 2 years from the date of the extension order - extension was granted for 2 years but from 28.3.2015 instead of the date of the extension order and the respondent authority ought to have granted extension prospectively and from the date of the order - HELD THAT:- The petitioner neither fulfilled the export obligations nor applied for extension in time even for the First Block and even the application for second obligation has also been rejected. The prayer of the petitioner to grant the extension for a period of two years cannot be accepted. The respondent authority has power to grant extension for two years, which the respondent authority has granted and such extension has been granted by the respondent authority from the date of expiry of original export obligation period and not from the date of approval by the DGFT - Even for the sake of arguments it is presumed that such extension can be granted for a period of two years, then also when the extension for two years was granted vide order dated 2/1/2017, the extension would have expired on 2/1/2019. Today's date is 1/8/2019. Therefore, there is no substance in the submissions and prayer prayed for by the petitioner in the present petition. Further, the petitioner firm has not availed the option of approaching the Grievance Redressal Committee under 2.49 and 9.9 of FTP 2006-07. Under the circumstances, there is no merit in the present petition. Petition dismissed.
