| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the petitioner's request to modify the interim order allowing the submission of an Insurance Guarantee instead of a Bank Guarantee. The petitioner had previously complied with the order by providing a Bank Guarantee and had obtained the release of the consignment from Customs. The Court found no merit in the petitioner's appeal, concluding that the High Court had rightly declined the petitioner's request. The decision emphasizes the necessity of adhering to the original order and the legitimacy of the High Court's ruling. |
| Summary |
In the case involving Granada Textile Mills Ltd. versus the Federation of Pakistan, the Supreme Court addressed the petitioner's plea for the release of imported goods from Customs without duty payment. The case revolved around the interpretation of the Customs Act and relevant constitutional provisions. The petitioner had complied with a prior High Court order by providing a Bank Guarantee, which facilitated the release of the goods. However, the subsequent request to substitute the Bank Guarantee with an Insurance Guarantee was deemed misconceived. The ruling underscores the importance of compliance with court orders and the procedural requirements in customs matters, reflecting the judiciary's stance on maintaining established legal protocols. This case serves as a significant reference for similar customs-related disputes, emphasizing the complexities involved in customs law and the judicial process in Pakistan. |
