Anti dumping duty on primary pencil cells- yet another dead notification resurrected
It is really difficult for the Board to keep track of the number of anti dumping notifications currently floating around and all these notifications unfortunately have a sun set clause. The Notification imposing anti dumping duty on primary pencil cells and primary batteries originating in, or exported from, the People’s Republic of China, was imposed vide notification No. 84/2001 and has expired on 6th February 2006. Now the Government has extended its life till 5th February, 2007. Fortunately the government is armed with a Tribunal order that for such extensions, the uncovered periods are not really lost. Contrary to popular belief, the courts are not really against the government and but for the judicial benevolence, most of the laws drafted by our babus would simply be thrown out.
NOTIFICATION NO. , Dated: February 16, 2006
