CUSTOMS High Court Cases

Customs - Anti-dumping duty, Territorial jurisdiction of High Court, violation of principles of natural justice - Petition challenging the Final Findings rendered by the DGTR (the Designated Authority) recommending the imposition of anti-dumping duty on imports of Mono Ethylene Glycol originating in or exported from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Singapore – The petitioner alleges that the Designated Authority has conducted a unilateral analysis, ignored information related to other known domestic producers, and failed to disclose the essential facts and methodology used for determining the dumping margin - Whether the High Court at Calcutta has the territorial jurisdiction to entertain this writ petition under Article 226(2) of the Constitution – HELD - The facts pleaded in the writ petition do not constitute an integral part of the cause of action arising within the territorial jurisdiction of the High Court at Calcutta. The challenge to the Final Findings of the Designated Authority is primarily based on the alleged violation of the principles of natural justice and the petitioner's right to fair treatment, which occurred in Delhi, outside the territorial jurisdiction of this Court. The fact that the petitioner's business may be adversely affected if a notification imposing anti-dumping duty is issued is not a relevant fact for granting the relief sought in the writ petition. Therefore, the High Court lacks the territorial jurisdiction to entertain this writ petition - The writ petition is dismissed for lack of territorial jurisdiction
