Viraj Impex Pvt. Ltd vs Union Of India

The Supreme Court considered appeals challenging a Central Government Notification imposing a Minimum Import Price on certain steel products. The key issue was the interpretation of the phrase 'date of this Notification' in the relevant government notification. The High Court had dismissed the writ petitions filed by the appellants, upholding the validity and applicability of the Notification. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and examined the scope and effect of the Notification, ultimately affirming the government's authority to regulate import prices to protect domestic industry.
