LAHORE: Lahore High Court (LHC) has rejected over 100 applications against the Anti-Dumping Duty on imports of different items from different countries.
Justice Aisha A Malik heard the case in which counsel for appellant argued that the importers are already paying tax on different imported items but the government also imposed the Anti-Dumping Duty and put the extra burden on importers. So the government cannot collect two taxes in one time. He also prayed the court to declare null and void the Anti-Dumping Duty.
After hearing the arguments, Justice Aisha A Malik of the Lahore High Court (LHC) remarked that taxes or duties are imposed on behalf of the government on anything and the court cannot intervene in the policy matters of the government.
After the detailed hearing, the court rejected all the applications filed by more than 100 different complainants against the Anti-Dumping Duty.
