While passing the impugned order, the second respondent has exercised his power and granted extension of time and further made a direction unworkable by stating that the direction will operate from 22.02.2014. Thus, the benefit granted in favour of the petitioner has ended in futility and the impugned order is a paper order, probably with a view to comply with the direction issued by this Court. The second respondent cannot be given an opportunity to revise his own order and he having not been vested with any such power to revise his own order under the relevant regulations, the question of remanding the matter does not arise.

The advance authorisation contained a condition, by which the petitioner was obligated to export finished products within a specified time. The admitted fact is that the petitioner did not comply with the said condition within the time stipulated. Consequently, the benefits under the advance licence were required to be withdrawn by the respondents 1 to 3. 4.At this juncture, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 11.06.2014 seeking for extension of time to enable them to fulfil the export obligation based on the advance authorisation. The petitioner sent further representation on 08.10.2014 by enclosing a demand draft for ₹ 22,212/- stated to be the composition fe .....

The writ petitions were heard by this Court and by a common order dated 16.08.2017, they were disposed of by directing the second respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 22.05.2017, seeking extension of time, examine the bona fides of the representations in accordance with the relevant regulations and pass a speaking order, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the order and till then, no coercive action shall be initiated against the petitioner. Pursuant to such direction, orders have been passed by the second respondent dated 19.01.2018 in respect of both the licences granting extension of time to the petitioner to fulfil the export .....

After the petitioner's representation seeking extension, though the composition fee has been paid by the petitioner not once or twice the second respondent has decided to grant the extension only upto 02.07.2014. Therefore, the question of remanding the matter to the second respondent to once again decide the issue is unnecessary and uncalled for. 9.In other words, the second respondent cannot be given an opportun .....
