DESIGNATED AUTHORITY, ANTI DUMPTING vs M/S. HALDOR TOPSOE A/S.

The Supreme Court upheld the findings of the Designated Authority under Section 9A of the Customs Tariff (Amendment) Act, 1995, confirming that the respondent's export of catalysts constituted dumping. The Court ruled that the Authority's determination of normal value based on best judgment assessment was valid despite the respondent's failure to provide necessary information. The appeal against the imposition of anti-dumping duties was dismissed, affirming the legality of the duties imposed by the Government of India.
