Anti Dumping Duty - In spite of HC Order, Govt continues with resurrection

IN 16.07.2014, we reported the drubbing that the Revenue received from the High Court holding that Anti Dumping Duty cannot be extended after the expiry of the Notification. As we reported, Board has no respect for Law, Courts or even itself. They are again at it.

Anti Dumping Duty on "Front Axle Beam and Steering Knuckle meant for heavy and medium commercial vehicles" was imposed with effect from 15th June 2009 by Notification No. 50/2010 -Customs, dated 12th April 2010 and this expired on 14th June 2014.

Now, after more than a month, they woke up and extended it till 14th June, 2015.

As per the High Court order, this extension notification is illegal and void.

Notification No., Dated: July 23, 2014
