all allegations baseless
Senior defense lawyer Mukul Rohatgi said in a media report that the case was dismissed after a long hearing. Our case before the Supreme Court was that two authorities (Judicial Authority and CESTAT) have ruled in our favor and found the allegations of overvaluation baseless, so no question of law arises in this case. On the agency’s contention, the comparative analysis of pricing was shown with international benchmarks in comparison to imports of Boiler Generator Turbines (BTGs) (which were exempted from payment of customs duty), therefore DRI’s case is baseless.
