UNION OF INDIA vs AGRICAS LLP

The Supreme Court examined the validity of notifications dated 29th March 2019 under Section 3 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, which amended import policy conditions. The Court held that the notifications were not in accordance with the provisions of the Act, particularly sub-section (2) of Section 3 and the bar under sub-section (3) of Section 6, leading to the conclusion that the excessive delegation of authority was impermissible. Consequently, the Court disposed of the writ petitions challenging these notifications, affirming the need for adherence to statutory provisions in foreign trade regulations.
