Orders
Summary The Bombay High Court quashed show-cause notices issued by Indian customs authorities to German textile machinery manufacturer Karl Mayer and its Indian subsidiary, holding that customs officers lacked jurisdiction to penalize foreign exporters for transactions occurring before March 29, 2018, when the Customs Act's extraterritorial provisions were amended. The court found no evidence that the petitioners actively participated in the alleged import fraud by Indian importers and ruled that responsibility for import declarations rests solely with importers, not foreign suppliers. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
