    Case Summary: M/s. Sripathi Paper and Boards Private Limited v. Commissioner of Customs Court: Madras High Court (Madurai Bench) Citation: 2026:MHC:2215 Date: 19.06.2026 Decision The Madras High Court rejected all prayers filed by M/s. Sripathi Paper and Boards Private Limited and M/s. Rajarajeswari Krafts Private Limited, holding that illegally imported municipal solid waste (misrepresented as waste paper) must be re-exported to the countries of origin—not diverted to third countries or disposed of within India. The court imposed a 60-day deadline for re-export and environmental compensation of ₹50,000 per day per company for delays, citing India's Basel Convention obligations and the principle of "waste colonialism."
