FTP - Import of Apples -More Ports Allowed

IN September 2015, DGFT had imposed a policy condition that import of apples covered under EXIM Code 0808 10 00 is allowed only through Nhava Sheva port. This was challenged in the Kerala High Court which allowed the imports through Cochin.

Now import is allowed through both seaports and airports in Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai & Cochin; and land port & airport in Delhi. Import of apples is also allowed through India's land borders. But then, why leave the other ports?
