Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. vs Designated Authority

The Supreme Court addressed appeals against the CEGAT's order which quashed a notification for anti-dumping duty under the Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-Dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995. The Court held that the Designated Authority must assess the confidentiality of submitted materials on a case-by-case basis, as per Rule 7, and cannot automatically assume confidentiality. The Court set aside CEGAT's order and remitted the matter back for a decision on merits, emphasizing the need for proper assessment of injury and reworking of figures for anti-dumping duty.
