Orders
The Bombay High Court quashed show-cause notices issued by customs authorities to Karl Mayer STOLL (a German machinery exporter) and its Indian subsidiary, finding the notices were issued without jurisdiction. The court held that the Customs Act, 1962 did not apply extraterritorially to foreign exporters before the 2018 amendment (effective March 29, 2018), and the alleged import mis-declarations occurred before this date, making the notices void. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
