| Summary |
In the case of M/S. Chaman Shoe Co vs. Controller Of Imports & Exports Karachi, the Sindh High Court addressed the issue of export liabilities following the devaluation of the Pakistani currency. The petitioner, a registered industrial firm, contested the increase in their export liability from Rs. 5,72,000 to Rs. 13,21,310 due to currency devaluation. The court found that the petitioner had met their export obligations and that the unilateral adjustment by the respondents was arbitrary and illegal. This judgment emphasizes the importance of adhering to original agreements and highlights issues surrounding currency devaluation, export commitments, and the legal responsibilities of manufacturing firms in Pakistan. The ruling supports the rights of exporters against unjustified claims by regulatory authorities, ensuring fair treatment and legal protection within the import-export framework. |
