Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the conflict between two prior orders regarding the maintainability of Special Leave Petitions against the Central Excise and Gold Control Appellate Tribunal's decision. The Court noted that the earlier order dismissed the petitions on the grounds that the Designated Authority's orders were recommendatory and that appeals should be directed to the Central Government for determination. The Court held that due to the importance of the legal questions involved, the matter should be referred to a three-Judge Bench for further consideration, thereby ensuring clarity on the procedural aspects of anti-dumping duties under the Customs Notification.
