In Brief
The Supreme Court considered whether the High Court was justified in setting aside the final findings of the Designated Authority in an anti-dumping duty investigation through writ jurisdiction before the final notification was issued. The Court held that preliminary findings should not be challenged via writ petition; instead, parties must await the final notification and appeal it before the appellate authority under the Customs Tariff Act. The Court allowed the appeals, set aside the High Court's order, and directed that future challenges be raised before the Appellate Tribunal, while expressing no opinion on the merits of the anti-dumping investigation itself.
