Export Duty on clearances to SEZ –Matter in Supreme Court

DURING July – August 2008, this was a very hot issue. While arguing a case in the AP high Court, I had submitted to the Court that the issue had to be ultimately decided by the Supreme Court as there would be writ petitions in many High Courts.

On 25.7.2008, the Gujarat High Court had granted a stay and the government's delayed SLP came up before the Supreme Court on 30/03/2009. The Supreme Court has posted the case to 9 th April 2009.
