Narendra Mafatlal Mehta Vs. Dy. Chief Controller of I and E

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Oct-11-1989

Reported in: 1990(46)ELT36(Bom); [1990]46ITR36(Bom)

1. A short but an interesting question has been posed in this Petition and the answer depends on the harmonious construction of the relevant provisions of the Import and Export Policy for the period April-1982 to March-1983 in the context of other aspects. The facts no doubt are very short but the expansion of the arguments in respect of this interpretation is comparatively lengthy. Nonetheless, in my opinion, even such a construction falls in a narrow field and the situation on the harmonious reading of all the provisions appears to be so clear as not to admit any confusion or scope for any other interpretation.2. Only a few facts, therefore, would be necessary to understand the thrust of the controversy which ultimately formulate the question that has been posed. The Petitioner is carrying on the business of importing rough diamonds and exporting out and polished diamonds in this metropolis. He is duty registered with the Directorate of Small Scale Industries and, according to him, h...
