Anti Dumping Duty on Caustic Soda from China - Resurrected
THE present Anti Dumping Duty on caustic soda originating in, or exported from, People's Republic of China was imposed by Notification No. 137/2008 - Cus dated 26.12.2008.
The Notification clearly stated, "The anti-dumping duty imposed under this notification shall be effective for a period of five years (unless revoked, superseded or amended earlier) from the date of publication of this notification in the Gazette of India."
So, the anti dumping duty imposed under this notification is not effective from 26.12.2013.
Now, the Government has amended this (dead) notification to extend its validity till 25.12.2014. HOW CAN THEY EXTEND THE LIFE OF A DEAD NOTIFICATION? WHY IS THE BOARD SO CALLOUS? AND WHY DO THEY SHOW SUCH CONTEMPT FOR LEGISLATION?
Notification No., Dated: January 16, 2014
