In Brief
The Supreme Court dismissed appeals challenging a High Court order on anti-dumping duty procedures. The case involved whether India could extend anti-dumping duties on rubber imports from Korea pending a sunset review investigation. The Court held that: (1) the relevant date for initiating sunset review is when the government decision is made, not when publicly published; (2) the government's power to temporarily extend duty pending review is discretionary (not automatic), requiring an affirmative notification; and (3) such extension must be issued before the original notification expires, not afterwards. The notification at issue was invalid because it was issued after the original duty period had lapsed.
