PREFACE

Writers and economists have continuously emphasized on the conflict between antidumping measures and competition law. To quote the oft repeated statement, one protects competitors and the other protects the process of competition. Very few writers have accepted that there can be collaboration between the two and the two can coexist. India has become a leading user of antidumping measures and has come under criticism for it. Criticisms are not new. It is said that antidumping measures are protecting influential domestic producers at the cost of consumers and downstream industries. In fact initially I had been among this group. But then I started examining the decisions more closely and started comparing them with other countries. I felt then that this is one sided view and the matter needs to be examined more thoroughly. Antidumping measures are trade remedy measures and as such, are part of the general economic conditions and policy of the country. The criticism of misuse of antidumping measures by monopoly producers did not appear to be correct. Some writings came which showed that antidumping measures actually help to increase imports from other sources and the domestic industry does not necessarily benefit much from them. This induced me to think whether antidumping measures and competition law are complimentary rather than in positions of conflict? I decided that conclusions cannot be reached without more intensive research. And hence I decided to undertake a thorough research and applied for the research project.

First chapter of the book discusses general historical, economic and political background of India and role of the state in modern constitutional democracies in the era of liberal trade and globalization. We find that powers of the state are being curtailed in external as well internal sphere but its obligations are growing. It is highlighted that Republic of India has been formed with a certain vision and government’s outlook towards role of private companies kept changing. The second

chapter deals with the jurisprudential development in antidumping law in India. Indian law on antidumping is same as the WTO Agreement on Antidumping with slight differences which have been highlighted in cases. The provisions of Indian law have developed through interpretation in various decisions and discussion of the cases help us to understand whether overall regulatory regime of India is protectionist or largely balanced. Second part of the book is analysis of the findings of the designated authority. It is through proper reading and analysis of this data only can one form a proper opinion as to whether antidumping measures are being misused to protect some at the cost of many and resulting in overall national welfare loss. Overall national welfare loss or gain has to be examined in the light of issues raised in the first chapter which discusses role of the state and the Indian political, economic and legal background.

The work started with a minor research project which was sanctioned to me by the University Grants Commission (UGC). Even though I could not complete the project on time and had to return the money, it helped me to continue with the work which otherwise I would have abandoned. The book had been written and completed during a period which was full of turmoil in which I had to change jobs and places because I have been fighting against harassment by the present vice-chancellor of the Hidayatullah National Law University, Raipur. Completion of the work got delayed in the process and must have undoubtedly affected its quality to some extent though with a writer’s bias I may not be able to see it. The work therefore owes a lot to persons who gave support since its inception, especially in difficult times. I foremost thank Prof. B.S. Chimni (Professor Jawaharlal Nehru University) who was then the vice-chancellor of the National University of Juridical Sciences(NUJS), where I was working at the time I took the project. He forwarded the project immediately, without any problem. Moreover, from him only I got the idea of working on trade remedy measures from the perspective of distributive justice. My career as teacher of International Trade Law owes much to him. Next I thank Prof. M.P. Singh who as the vice chancellor of NUJS not only accepted the project, but even though I had left NUJS by that time, he also dissuaded me from surrendering it at a time when I almost felt that I would not be able to complete it. Special thanks are due to my family members my father (Prof. Udai Raj Rai), my brothers (Anil Kr. Rai and Salil Kr. Rai) and my sisters in law whose wholehearted support kept my morale high and gave me the mental tranquility so that


xix

I could continue to concentrate on my work. This period strengthened my views that competition in the market is not always fair and one has to depend on the general support of many to survive and get one’s fair share in the market. I thank Amity University Rajasthan (Especially Prof. A.K. Keshot, and Prof. M.S. Raste), and Prof. V. Nagraj (vice chancellor of National Law University Odisha) who pulled me out of my troubles and again gave stability to my career. Much of the work took final shape in these two institutions. I thank all the staff in the training centre in National Law School of India University Bangalore, where in three weeks stay much of the work on data was done. I thank all my other friends and well wishers whose general moral support was very valuable during this time. I thank Prof. A. Jayagovind who has been my teacher in International Trade Law and I have learnt much from him. Last but not the least I thank the University Grants Commission for giving me this project which in a way compelled me to carry on with the work against all odds.

INTRODUCTION

Resistance to and revolt against any organized power and authority especially against the state and the governmental power and authority has been the most sung about and romanticized sentiment among human beings. While we need both social and political organization for our existence and growth, at the same time we resent the interference of both in our life and thinking, endeavors and enterprise. Nowhere is the role of state criticized more as it is in economic matters. State is criticized in both ways depending on the economic situation of the country at a particular time. If the state adopts an inquiring and restrictive attitude towards entrepreneurs and enterprises, it is criticized for being too interfering. On the other hand if there is economic slowdown and general poverty, the state is criticized for not doing enough to look after the welfare of its citizens. Liberal economic thinkers in the spirit of liberal political thinkers despise too much state intervention and want to keep it at minimal. Therefore according to them, “Pas trop gouverner” (“Govern not too much”)1 should be the motto which every country should follow.2 Unleashing of human potential through lifting of excessive governmental regulations, controls and restrictions is the purpose of much of liberal political and economic writings. This approach became epitomized in the phrase of laissez faire coined by Vincent de Gournay which later developed into the motto Laissez faire et laissez passer, le monde va de lui même! 3

1 Motto is attributed to Rene de Voyer Marquis d’Argenson.2 Marquis d’Argenson is credited with the origin of the phrase “Pour gouverner mieux,

il faudrait gouverner moins” (“To govern best, one needs to govern less”)3 “Let do and let pass, the world goes in by itself ”. Popularity of the phrase in print

is attributed to Rene de Voyer Marquis d’Argenson and his outburst in his diary Laissez faire, telle devrait être la devise de toute puissance publique, depuis que le monde est civilisé . . . Détestable principe que celui de ne vouloir grandir que par l’abaissement de nos voisins! Il n’y a que la méchanceté et la malignité du coeur de satisfaites dans ce principe, et l’intérêt y est opposé. Laissez faire, morbleu! Laissez faire!! (“Leave it be,

There can be little doubt that adherents of laissez faire economy despise the idea of economic planning by the state. Opponents of state planning criticize it for killing individual enterprise and incentive. Hayek, an ardent advocate of spontaneous growth, equates the idea of planning with serfdom. The idea reveals the underlying sentiment and logic behind the liberal market economy principle. Liberal market economy principle is in fact a corollary of liberal political philosophy which aimed to minimize intervention of the state in the affairs of citizens. Right to life, liberty and property were claimed as natural rights of man, interference in which was beyond the justified power of the state. Against the individualists asserting rights of man, collectivists justifying greater role of the state claimed that the state exists to look after the welfare of society as a whole and there is no harm if individual interests are sacrificed at the altar of public good. Nowhere this argument was more effective than in the economic field. Proponents of liberal market economy, therefore, rubbished this claim with the argument that interference of external agency like the state in market distorts natural allocation of resources and results in overall national welfare loss. Instead, if individuals are left to pursue their own rational self interest an invisible hand regulates the market and its distortions automatically. According to this view, less interference of the state in the market and free competition leads to overall national welfare gain. That is why Hayek advocates the idea of spontaneous growth and equates planning with serfdom and Ayn Rand puts forward self-interest as a moral philosophy and equates planning with evil.

In between these two extremes certain observations require consideration. One is that human society is a spontaneous organization and political organization is a tool to hold that society together and in order. Political organization that we call ‘State’ also protects a particular social organization against external aggression and internal disorder. Thanks to liberal political ideologies, long past are days when divine origin can be asserted by the state or those holding political power. The state and those holding political power have to justify their existence to the citizens as well as to the international community in general. In

that should be the motto of all public powers, as the world is civilized . . . That we cannot grow except by lowering our neighbors is a detestable notion! Only malice and malignity of heart is satisfied with such a principle and our (national) interest is opposed to it. Leave it be, for heaven’s sake! Leave it be!)

the era of globalization international organization and international community are showing sensitivity towards the plight of fellow human beings who are citizens of other countries. Individual economic, social and political well being is now as much a concern of political superiors as those of concerned individuals, their family and friends. This internal and external accountability of the state requires it to have larger role in the social and economic issues than would be conceded by the proponents of liberal market economy.

Role of the State became especially crucial in countries which gained independence in the second half of the 20th century and were left with exhausted resources and impoverished population lacking in education and with a way of life which did not necessarily match with the ideals of western world that was put forward as dominant and universally acceptable creed. In this scenario state in developing countries had to play an active role to push forward economic development, which led to the growth of ideology of state planning. The ideology of planning originally evolved in socialist countries where state had reached its commanding heights and was directing the pattern of growth to ensure that economic development was matched with equity in distribution of the benefits of development. The idea appealed to less industrialized and less developed countries with large chunk of population living in abject poverty. Little could be expected from spontaneous growth in the economic scenario they were faced with. Therefore state took over the task of leading the country towards economic growth and development.

The basic principle in the ideology of economic planning is that the state shall take an active, indeed the decisive, role in the economy: by its own acts of investment and enterprise, and by its various controls-inducements and restrictions-over the private sector, the state shall initiate, spur, and steer economic development. These public policy measures shall be rationally coordinated, and the coordination be made explicit in an over-all plan for a specified number of years ahead.

The whole complex ideology of planning, in all its ramifications, is thus essentially rationalist in approach and interventionist in conclusions. It is committed to the belief that development can be brought about or accelerated by government intervention. Economic conditions in particular, need not remain as they are or evolve under the influence

merely of “natural forces.” Instead, it is felt that these conditions and their evolution should be under state control so that the economic system can be moved in a desired direction by means of intentionally planned and rationally coordinated state policies. The strategy for these policies would emerge as a set of practical inferences from rational analysis of the facts in a country’s situation and the positing of certain development goals. All those in the South Asian region who urge state economic planning agree, in principle that it should benefit the common people, concentrate on raising the levels of living of the poorest strata in the nation, and express the will of the nation as a whole.4

Planning, therefore, even though, emerged in socialist countries it became popular in democratic countries like India that aimed at three goals simultaneously, economic development of the country, greater democracy and growth of equality and equal opportunities to individuals for their overall development. In these countries which had fought against colonial yoke, equality and general social welfare was synonymous with the ideal of democracy and freedom. Therefore they accepted economic planning but not at the cost individual freedom and within the democratic political framework. Hence developed the idea of democratic planning which meant that planning would be controlled not by technocrats but by persons sensitive to popular demands and interests.

“Democratic planning”—a term that is popular in South Asia-embraces many ideas—. It should be noted first of all that the term is seldom, if ever, used in the restricted sense most natural to westerners; that is to imply merely that public policies and their coordination in a plan should emerge from a democratic political process and be executed by a government whose power lies in a popularly elected parliament. Even in India, which in a fashion satisfies these political conditions, other connotations are emphasized. Sometimes “democratic planning” implies that planning should create greater social and economic equality. It is then synonymous with “socialist planning” in its wider and vaguer meaning-in other words,

4 Gunnar Myrdal, Asian Drama: An Inquiry Into the Poverty of Nations 709-710 (1968).


xxv

with “real” democracy. However two other and more specific meanings of the term are prevalent—.

First, “democratic planning” is held to mean that planning and the policies coordinated in the plans should enlist not only the support of the masses but also their active participation in plan preparation and implementation. Secondly it is generally held to mean that this popular participation and cooperation should emerge voluntarily so that state policies can be carried out without regimentation or coercion.5

It is debatable whether combination of liberal political values with socialistic economic ideals was a good idea or not. Many say that India lagged behind the race of economic development because of its democratic set up which reduced the governance power of the State. On the other hand many say that India lagged behind in economic development because of its faulty economic policies which burdened the state with too much to cope with and killed individual endeavors and enterprise.6 Anyway, economic crisis and change in world economic and political scenario led government of countries like India to gradually reduce their role in the market and liberalize the economy enough to integrate it with the world economy.

Dilemma that democratic countries like India face now in the globalised economy is to ensure economic development of the country by encouraging individual enterprise but at the same time also taking care of economic and social welfare of each of its citizens. Individualism has come to have a different connotation as well. It not only means that there should be minimal interference in the affairs of individuals but also that each individual should have economic, social, educational and political means to pursue his/her overall welfare and development. A duty is cast on the state as a tool of society to ensure that every individual gets a reward for being member of a politically organized society. This is a political necessity in a democratic country for a government to justify its existence. In addition to internal accountability there is external accountability also with international community analyzing the welfare of citizens of a country in various forums.

combined with positive obligations on the state has given a new role to the state that of market regulator. Trade remedy measures, competition policy, labour policy etc. are methods whereby state regulates and directs the functioning of markets and ensures that market functions in a way which fulfills social and political ideals of the society.

The vast majority of States are now in a condition of more or less permanent economic crisis. They cannot afford a prolonged standstill of production, or a rise of prices, profits and wages which paralyses the economic capacity of the nation. Hence the state must intervene, by wage boards, conciliation commissioners compulsory awards, arbitration courts and other means designed to ensure industrial peace, as well as a certain amount of public influence on the formation of prices and wages.7

Idea of state enterprises are no longer being encouraged. The state rather encourages private enterprises and tries to protect and strengthen them so that they continue to enhance overall national welfare. Instead of participating in the economy, the state in democratic countries regulates the direction of economy so that its positive obligations are fulfilled through private enterprise and endeavours. Thus planning has taken a new form. State does not participate but regulates, protects and strengthens as the need be, role of various participants. This is not a new approach. It has been happening in all countries with democratic government. Market fulfills not only economic function but also a political one. In the liberal political and economic policy regime, markets become an important tool for politics (viewed as resolving conflicts between competing interests) of the country. Peter Drucker had been candid enough to remark that ‘[e]conomics is too important to American politics to be left to the American economists. Economics has a political role to fulfill that transcends its own subject matter.’8

Trade remedy measures like antidumping measures should be examined in this light. India has become one of the leading user of antidumping measures. Often use of antidumping measures are criticized that it is being abused by monopolies and dominant industries to retain

their market position at the cost of consumer welfare.9 Liberal market economists say that these measures result in overall national welfare loss. By using trade remedy measures like antidumping measures we protect a small group of producers at the cost of consumers at large.10 The best way is to let the market choose its survivors as it weeds out inefficient players. Writings on the use of antidumping measures in India usually follow this line of thought.11 There are very few exceptions which are actually based on empirical research and finding but unfortunately are not much publicized.12 Dominant opinion is that India was forced to liberalise its market after the India-Quantitative Restrictions Case13, the companies with assistance by the state started using antidumping measures to protect themselves from competition. Present work examines this argument.

Usually antidumping measures are considered to be against competition policy and usual statement is that antidumping measures protect competitors while competition policy and law protect the process of competition. This statement which is often repeated by supporters of free market and spontaneous growth is at odds with the consistent statement made by the Indian Antidumping Authority that we need competitors for competition to continue in the market. The Authority further states that antidumping measures do not stop imports they only ensure fair competition and continuation of competition by allowing large number of players to survive in the market thus allowing buyers wide choice.

Hard core liberal market economists would rubbish such statements and so would critics of use of antidumping measures in India. The present work purports to examine this criticism and examines whether antidumping measures can be a tool in protection and promotion of competition and overall national welfare gain. Overall national welfare gain is to be understood not only in terms of mathematical analysis but also in terms of obligations of state, role of state in the modern globalizing economy and relationship of individual and the state. The present work has examined not only the law of antidumping measures but also the application and use of antidumping measures in the market and how far it is being fairly used or abused by the government in discharge of its various functions, as regulator of market on the one hand and as protector of individual rights and welfare on the other.

The present work moves on the premise that there cannot be any hard and fast policy, like and dislike, for antidumping measures. It has to be viewed in the economic, political, legal, social and historical background of a country. The first chapter has to be read in this light and antidumping cases analysed below have to be examined in the background given in the first chapter. In the modern form of planning wherein state works as market regulator antidumping measures help to balance various interests as well as help to maintain competition in the market. Antidumping measures and competition law and policy when properly used are part of the same goal and antidumping measures are easier and readily available tools to continuously check any market distortion. But again it all depends how antidumping measures are being used. Whether they are being properly used or being abused has to be examined in the background stated above. One fact that always needs to be remembered is that we need antidumping measures only when we have a liberal trade regime. That is why India felt the need for an

antidumping law only in the second half of 1980s when it slowly started opening up its market. Trajectory of market is fraught with bitter rivalries where the rival is sought to ousted at any cost so that the consumer and the market can be in the control of one or few. In international trade, governments also become participants in the game for one reason or the other. In such a situation it becomes the duty of governments of other countries to continuously monitor the functioning of their market and to check any distortions which may have jeopardizing effect on the economy and welfare of the citizens. Antidumping measures is one way whereby the government may check functioning of the market. However, application of such trade remedy measures also require continuous examination and analysis to ensure that they themselves do not become tool for unfair competition. Such analysis should not be in the form of crime reporting that is examining in terms of total number of cases initiated and antidumping measures taken. It would be more helpful to analyse the actual findings of the investigating authority in the background of market, economic, social and political conditions of the country.

Present work examines the law and application of antidumping measures in the background of Indian legal, political and economic system and philosophy. Indian antidumping law has been analysed in light of the decisions of the Supreme Court, High Court and the Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT).14 In addition findings of investigating authority in around 150 cases have been analysed in the form of tables. Selection of these 150 cases which are findings of the investigating authority can at best be called random. I have been given to understand that only by stating that selection is random does not justify the reason for choosing 150 cases out of more than 600 cases in which findings have been given by the investigating authority till date. Well, the book can be said to be in two parts. Part I discusses law, history and policy affecting antidumping measures in India in Chapter I. In Chapter II Indian antidumping law has been discussed in light of the cases decided by the Supreme Court of India, High Courts and the CESTAT. This chapter does not purport to explain antidumping measures to a beginner for which I would direct the

reader to other books.15 It basically highlights the issues that have come up in the legal regime of antidumping in India and the jurisprudential development pertaining to the same. Part II of the book with the sample of 150 cases attempts to examine about the use/abuse of antidumping measures in India and impact of dumping and antidumping measures on competition in the market. Conclusion on both these issues would be reached in the light of general discussion given in the introduction and in the first chapter. Selection of 150 cases have been unbiased for which the reader apart from my word can rely on the following information. The cases were downloaded from the ministry of commerce website in 2010. There were about 172 cases reported at that time for which final finding had been made. All the cases were downloaded with the aim that all the cases would be studied when I realized that it was not feasible for two reasons, that actual cases were more than available on the website at the time and by the time study of these cases got complete more cases came up. For this reason and also to keep length of the book within limit, 22 cases were eliminated for which I found that very little information was given in the final finding. No specific selection was made. However, by the time the work neared completion many more sunset review had come up. In all I could download around 60 to 67 sunset review. To maintain a kind of symmetry 50 cases were taken up. Some of the eliminated ones were those which had no discussion as the domestic industry had not opposed removal of antidumping measures. Some more were eliminated literally randomly. There are very few cases in sunset review for which earlier data (those given in data I, II, III etc) are not available. That would have necessitated inclusion of new cases, and also increase in length of the book. This however, does not in any way affect the overall finding of the book. This work since it is first of its kind in the Indian context, I would be glad to find individuals and organization with better resources to do a more comprehensive and elaborate study in many volumes.

These 200(150+50) cases, therefore, are samples with the help of which attempt has been made to analyse the impact of dumping and

antidumping measures in the market. I have not come across any work which has done it so comprehensively so far. The data being prepared by the World Bank which was pointed out to me by some only gives the history of antidumping measures that is date of initiation, time for which measure was used, time for midterm and sunset review etc. The purpose of this work is not to provide a historical data but an attempt to analyse impact of dumping and antidumping measures in India in historical, economic, social, political and constitutional background and also in light of the role of the state in modern globalised economy and relation of individual and the state in the era of globalization. While the cases which have been analysed in Part II of the book cannot be said to be the latest cases as they are only samples, the chapter on antidumping law in India (Chapter II) is updated and all important cases have been covered till date.

In short purpose of the book is to emphasise that conclusion about proper use or abuse of antidumping measures cannot be made by cursory study or by counting the number of cases. These cases and situation of the domestic industry has to be analysed more intensively and from a wider perspective. Impact of antidumping measures on competition and impact of dumping on competition cannot be simplified in a way it is being largely done. It is complex issue requiring regular intensive examination and cooperation between the antidumping authority and the competition authority. Antidumping measures like competition law and policy are actually tool in the hands of government to regularly check market distortions and to ensure that market functions in a cooperative way with the fundamental governance structure of the country.

CHAPTER IRole of the State in a Liberal Trade Regime

Most of the legal, political and economic experts have declared demise of Westphelian concept of sovereignty. Legal definition of this concept of sovereignty was provided by John Austin who emphasized on the supreme power of a determined political superior over its subjects and its complete independence from any external control. Sovereignty was inalienable and indivisible. Austin’s definition on sovereignty had many critics. Major challenge to this theory came from the pluralists who claimed State was one of the many other social organizations created by man. Pluralist theory of sovereignty in short emphasized on number of centers of power and declared that sovereignty is shared among these centers of power.

With the shrinking of globe, academicians have been pondering about the current status of the concept of sovereignty. Many feel that despite growth in international interaction and international constraints on the use of sovereign power, there are very few international agreements and international organizations which can really be called global in the real sense of the term.16 Most of these organizations remain international in true sense of the term which means that they take into account the national sovereign space and identity in their working. Some legal academicians believe that concept of sovereignty is necessary for the existence of international order because international law revolves round the concept of sovereignty. For this some writers like Prof. Jackson prefer to rename sovereignty as “sovereignty modern” to adapt the theory to current political, economic and legal developments at the international and national level.17

Whatever name we may give it, the notion of absolute sovereignty is now a story of the past and sovereignty of a state is restrained by positive obligations and negative constraints which are internal as well as external. Let us examine these constraints.

I. EXTERNAL NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS: International agreements effectively constrain the exercise of sovereign power by the national governments. These negative constraints are political as well as economic. Examples of political constraints are non aggression pacts. These are comparatively less effective than the economic ones. International economic agreements effectively regulate sovereign right of states to regulate their economic policy. Some writers feel that except for the IMF none of these agreements or organizations administering such agreements are truly global in nature. According to this view, these are at best international organizations which owe their existence to cooperation and understanding between states. They do not have the power and capacity for global governance. The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is the most discussed, debated and criticized organization in this regard. One often hears about agitations and processions against the WTO for one reason or the other. The three Bretton Woods Institutions are often target of attack by the leftist and nationalist parties and groups on the ground that they effectively curtail the national sovereign space and policy options. However, some writers have contended that except for the dispute resolution process, WTO is a truly international organization rather than a global one.18

It would be correct to say that the WTO, to a considerable extent, regulates the power of the state to regulate their own economies. Despite the fact that the WTO is a result of an international agreement and members have become party to the agreement on their own volition, it cannot be denied that this international contract limits the sovereign right of members to a large extent. It is not correct to say that the WTO works in an international manner except for dispute settlement process. The moment a country agrees to be member of the WTO it is bound by all the agreements and liberalization commitments it has undertaken e.g. tariff bindings, market access and national treatment. Any violation of these obligations is remedied through the dispute settlement process. This liability can be enforced by coercive means of retaliation

18 J Rabkin, Why Sovereignty Matters (1998)

though the power of retaliation itself is constrained by the economic circumstances of the party who has the right to retaliate. Although dispute settlement process enforces obligations which already exist under the WTO Agreements, the extent of rights and liabilities of a member also depends on the interpretation given by the panel and the appellate body which becomes especially important in cases of non-tariff barriers. The power of a state to regulate its market in this way is curtailed to a significant extent by the international agreements especially the WTO Agreement. How much these agreements are voluntary can be debated because it largely depends on the bargaining power of the party which in turn is determined by that country’s economic, political and military power. Moreover, we know that all members do not participate in the green room discussions. Therefore a WTO member has to charge customs duty within its tariff bindings and to that extent regulation of quantum of import and export is outside the sovereign power of a WTO member; regulation of the quality of import and export is to be within the principles as enshrined in Article XX of the GATT, the TBT Agreement and the SPS Agreement; members are bound by the principles of non-discrimination (national treatment and most favoured nation treatment); members can support the domestic industry only to the extent allowed under the ASCM; TRIPs protects the monopoly power of the innovator and to a significant extent takes away from the states the power to regulate that right in public interest; GATS similarly regulates the regulatory powers of the states in the services sector. These are some examples of how the WTO regulates the sovereign power of the state to regulate their own economy. In this way on the one hand, it no doubt brings about an inter-dependence between the states but on the other hand it also limits the interference of the state in the market which is opened up for international competition.

II. EXTERNAL POSTIVE OBLIGATIONS: One set of international agreements constraint power of the states to regulate the economic activity within their jurisdiction, on the other hand another set of international agreements put a positive obligation on the states to recognize certain human rights of their citizens and make positive efforts to fulfill them. These human rights are also of negative as well as positive character. A set of human rights prevent the state from interfering in the individual’s sphere and his freedom. These are contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, human rights covenants concluded under

Sheela Rai

the United Nations, and obligations imposed by other international obligations such as International Labour Organsiation. Another set of human rights proclaim certain basic necessities of life as every individual’s entitlement. This other set of human rights on the one hand enjoin upon the state to guarantee those entitlements to every human being on the other hand they provide the state with legal, political and moral power against international pressure in the economic sphere and the state can affect the negotiations of international treaties and assert within the international system more economic power and policy autonomy in order to safeguard these human rights of its citizens. The two approaches are known as Right to Development(RTD) and Human Rights Based Approaches to Development(HRBA). Right to development came as assertion by the developing countries insisting on New International Economic Order (NIEO) which took into consideration their economic vulnerability and need to further their economic development. This approach in other way tries to obligate the developed countries to help in the development of developing countries.19

Human Rights based approach to development (HRBA) is the insistence of the individual within the state of their right to development along with the development of the national economy. It defines the objective of development as the realization of human rights, and uses the principles of human rights in the process of development, such as participation, empowerment, equality, and the tools of human rights such as the international human rights law. HRBA emerged as a reaction against structural adjustment policies and globalization and as a challenge to the neoliberal approach that focuses on economic growth and market integration as the core priority in development. In short HRBA is concerned not only with development but also with the distribution of the fruits of development. HRBA emerged in the context of globalization and the economic and political trends of the 1980s and 1990s in reaction to neoliberal economic policies that led to the neglect of many social and equity priorities. A variant of the HRBA is human development and capability approach. Human development and capability approach sees human beings as ends for economic development rather than as means to economic development. It defines development in holistic and Aristotelian terms as development of all inherent capabilities of human

19 See generally, Saiko Fukuda-Parr, ‘Human Rights and Politics in Development’ in Michael Goodhart(ed.) Human Rights :Politics and Practice 164 (2009).


7

beings and goal of development should, according to it, be to enable human beings to develop all their capabilities.

The capabilities approach can be provisionally defined as an approach to comparative quality of life assessment and to theorizing about basic social justice. It holds that the key question to ask, when comparing societies and assessing them for their basic decency or justice, is, “What is each person able to do and to be?” In other words, the approach takes each person as an end, asking not just about the total or average well being but about the opportunities available to each person. It is focused on choice or freedom, holding that the crucial good societies should be promoting for their people is a set of opportunities, or substantial freedoms, which people then may or may not exercise in action: the choice is theirs. It thus commits itself to respect for people’s powers of self-definition. The approach is resolutely pluralist about value: it holds that the capability achievements that are central for people are different in quality, not just in quantity; that they cannot without distortion be reduced to a single nunerical scale: and that a fundamental part of understanding and producing them is understanding the specific nature of each. Finally, the approach is concerned with entrenched social injustice and inequality, especially capability failures that are the result of discrimination or marginalization. It ascribes an urgent task to government and public policy-namely, to improve the quality of life for all people, as defined by their capability.20

These approaches were concretized in the form of human development report launched by Mahbub ul Haq in 1990 with the explicit purpose “to shift the focus of development economics from national income accounting to people centered policies”. This approach defined human development as the process of enlarging a person’s “functionings and capabilities to function, the range of things that a person could do and be in her life”.21

III. INTERNAL NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS: Internal negative constraints can be of two types. One set of negative constraints are present in countries having constitutional democracy. The constitution of the country to some extent symbolizes a social contract between the citizens of that country and the governmental machinery has to respect the limitations imposed by that document unless and until there is a revolution. Most important of such limitations are fundamental rights and principle of Rule of Law. However, sovereignty at best is now understood as an abstract concept symbolizing the independence of a state. As such we can also say that a constitution is not a limitation on the sovereignty which is present in the very concept of an independent state.

Another set of negative constraints can be called an extension of external negative constraint. They limit the interference of the state in the market. The role that state should play in the economic development and in the market has been one of the main issues economists have been debating about. Capitalism is largely associated with the notion of minimal state interference in the market symbolized by the concept of police state. However, the immediate post World War II phase, known as the golden age of capitalism, was dominated by the idea of state regulation of economy. It was believed that the state had a significant role to play in deciding the direction of development and in regulating the part of different players in the market, national and international. This feeling was prevalent in the developed as well as in developing economies but it was stronger in the latter. Inspired by success of the USSR, developing countries that were erstwhile colonies of developed countries had an inherent feeling of dislike for capitalism. Moreover, with no capitalist class in place the state in these countries had to play the role of entrepreneur to invest the required capital in the market and take the risk. Landed oligarchy was challenged in the inter-war period and alliance between the handful of new industrialist class and the urban working class pushed for state-led industrialization programme. Result was the emergence of a variety of new industrialization strategies in developing countries, in which state played the leading role in manufacturing and infrastructure through its control over state-owned enterprises and/or financial resources. The developed countries were equally convinced about the important role that the state had to play in the national economy. The disaster wrought by the Second World War, the need for post war reconstruction, the independence of the colonies and the success of the USSR in space programmes, popularized Keynesian economics and theory of welfare state pioneered


9

by Arthur Pigou. However, since the mid-1970s the neoliberal economists have challenged the prudence of mixed economy model which many state to lesser or larger degrees were following. The State is seen as predator and regulatory machinery is threatened to be captured by the vested interests unless ruthless competition in the market limits the interference of this machinery in its (market’s) functioning. The contractarian view of the state reemerged and state was seen as necessary evil, hence only a minimal role should be allowed to the state.22 According to this view state becomes necessary only when markets do not work well or fail.

However, another line of thought has developed known as ‘institutionalism’. According to institutionalists market is only one of the many institutions and it cannot be given predominance in economy which the neoliberal economists have given it. Hence state has an equally important role to play in the economy alongwith the markets.23

The real point is that the market is only one of the many institutions that make up what people call ‘the market economy’, or what we think is better called capitalism. The capitalist system is made up of a range of institutions, including markets as institutions of exchange, firms as institutions of production, and the state as the creator and regulator of the institutions governing their relationships.24

This view rightly states that the extent of state’s interference in the market is determined by that country’s social, historical, political and economic conditions. For example prohibition on child labour might be a legitimate state regulation in one country but might be considered as interference in another less developed country.

Market is a fundamentally political construction. A market cannot be defined except with reference to the specific rights/obligations structure that underpins it. And since these rights and obligations are determined through a political process, and not by any ‘scientific’ or ‘natural’ law as

22 See generally, Ha-Joon Chang, Globalisation, Economic Development and the Role of the State, (2003)

23 Ibid.24 Ibid., 89.

10

neoclassical commentators want us to believe, all markets have a fundamentally ‘political’ origin. Therefore, it is impossible to decide whether market is free or not without specifying the position of the persons making that statement regarding the legitimacy or the current rights/obligations structure.25

IV. POSITIVE INTERNAL OBLIGATIONS: Positive constraint that the state faces is the obligation to provide a dignified human life to its citizens. This obligation has been put forward as the concept of social justice. However, there are various views in this regard as well. Some want to limit the role of the state while others want to have a positive role. Some try to balance between the two.

Writers inspired by liberal political and economic thinking visualize a minimal role of the state and want to relegate the state to the position of night watchman. Inspired by Lock they feel that right to life, liberty and property are natural rights of man and State has come to protect them. Most of them abhor the idea of distributive justice and criticize the system of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Inspired by Adam Smith they think that State should interfere in the market as less as possible and when free human being pursue their self interest as rational persons, an invisible hand regulates the market. Milton Friedman, a representative of the Chicago school of economics, endorses capitalism and believes in the freedom of the humans. In his book Capitalism and Freedom, Friedman advocated minimising the role of government in free market as a means of creating political and social freedom. He categorically states, “Underlying most arguments against free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.”26 According to him principles of free market solve social and political problems that other systems have failed to address adequately. Friedrich Hayek views the idea of social justice with contempt.

The term is intellectually disreputable, the mark of demagogy or cheap journalism which responsible thinkers ought to be ashamed to use because, once its vacuity is recognised, its use is dishonest.27

(1976)


11

Robert Nozick’s theory starts with the Lock’s individualistic premise that all persons are naturally possessed with rights and with this premise he concludes that governments and all social organisations need justification. With this premise Nozick develops a theory of justice that advocates a radical free market approach and reduces the state to the position of nightwatchman. For him minimal state is the most extensive state that can be justified. Any state more extensive violates people’s rights. Thus any policy of redistribution is naturally antithetical to the idea of minimal state. All that is paid for would be the basic protection service. There is no place for welfare state in this theory. He seems to echo Hayek when he says that development of this minimal state is spontaneous, unplanned and unintended.28

On the other end of the spectrum is Marxism which also views the institution of State with suspicion. Marx views history as a dialectical process dictated by the particular means of production. According to Marx economic structure is the sub-structure and law, justice, culture etc. are super structure. For Marx, under capitalism which was built on the notion of competition, bourgeoisie (capitalists) thrived at the cost of proletariat (labour). According to Marx, competition generates the idea of specialisation and thus is the source of evils like racism and sexism. Competition promoted the institution of slavery because it reduced labour costs of agricultural production. Similarly in the capitalist mode of production which is also based on the ideology of competition, labour becomes a commodity where people do not sell the product of their labour but their ability to work. According to Marx the logic of competition would inevitably lead to overproduction and as the bourgeoisie shrinks and the proletariat’s wages decrease and industrial efficiency drives output up, a crisis would result as the capitalist would not be able to sell their surplus output. In the past this crisis was diffused by destruction of a mass of productive forces and conquest of new markets. According to Marx eventually these solutions would fail and once the capitalists establish themselves everywhere and wages reach a level where the proletariat cannot purchase any excess goods there would no longer be any further markets to support further growth. Thus no society found on competition can survive for long and ultimately communist revolution would result which would establish communes

based on the ideal of “from each according to their ability to each according to their need.” Marxism called for dictatorship of proletariat (during the socialist interregnum) because proletariat are greater in number and bourgeoisie are a minority that had hitherto exploited the majority. A different notion of justice developed which also talked of the welfare of the majority but within the parameters of liberal democratic regime and does not have anything in common with Marxism. Transition from capitalism to socialism was not to be peaceful and gradual. It would succeed only through revolution. For Marx, revolution was the midwife of every old society impregnated with a new one. Thus, Marx did not believe in peaceful evolution and class conciliation. The road to change was class war and revolution.

Can there be blend of equality and justice with the idea of liberty and freedom within a democratic political system. John Rawls made an attempt. He tried to synthesise the supposedly opposite notions of equality and justice on the one hand and liberty and freedom on other.

Rawls develops his theory by visualizing a meeting of men in original position under a veil of ignorance to form a social contract covering the principles which would bind us in real life. In this position since no one is aware of his particular social position, everyone would try to create a social system in which no one is worse off. It is like a person would cut the cake in equal parts because he does not know which part he would get. With this background Rawls believes that men in original position would choose two principles which are placed in the order of priority:

1. Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive total system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system of liberty for all

2. Social and economic inequalities are to be arranged so that they are both:

(i) to the greatest benefit of the least advantageous, consistent with the just savings principle, and

(ii) attached to offices and positions open to all under conditions of fair equality of opportunity.27a

27a John Rawls, Justice As Fairness, 42 (Erin Kelly ed., 2001)


13

Amartya Sen criticizes the Rawlsian approach to justice based on transcendental institutionalism. According to him justice especially in a globalizing world cannot be realized by formulating a perfect set of institutions and rules. Realisation of justice would depend on making appropriate choices among the alternatives and comparative assessments between pairs of alternatives. Taking inspiration from the ‘social choice theory’ Sen categorically states that ‘what is needed is an agreement, based on public reasoning, on rankings of alternatives that can be realized.’ 29 His approach seems somewhat similar to that of Karl Popper who feels remodeling of political or social structure according to any ideology leads to totalitarianism.30 His purpose is ‘to wit the need for a theory that is not confined to the choice of institutions, nor to the identification of ideal social arrangements. The need for an accomplishment based understanding of justice is linked with the argument that justice cannot be indifferent to the lives that people can actually live. The importance of human lives, experiences and realizations cannot be supplanted by information about institutions that exist and the rules that operate. Institutions and rules are, of course, very important in influencing what happens, and they are part and parcel of the actual world as well, but the realized actuality goes well beyond the organizational picture, and includes the lives that people manage –or do not manage—to live.’31 Martha C. Nussbaum goes further and enumerates minimum ten central capabilities which a decent political order must secure to all citizens at least a threshold. These are life, bodily health, bodily integrity, senses, imagination and thought; emotions; practical reason; Affiliation; other species; play; control over one’s political and material environment.

Considering the various areas of human life in which people move and act, this approach to social justice asks, What does a life worthy of human dignity require? At a bare minimum, an ample threshold level of ten Central Capabilities is required. Given a widely shared understanding of the task of government (namely, that government has the job of making people able to pursue a dignified and minimally flourishing life), it follows that a decent political order must secure to all citizens at least a threshold level of these ten central capabilities.32

IIINDIAN LEGAL SYSTEM: CONSTRAINTS AND ASPIRATIONS

In the year 1947 ‘the peoples state of India’33 inherited a country that was administratively united and modernized, socially feudal and economically impoverished. British left a legacy of parliamentary democracy, modernised education system, poverty, stagnant agriculture, partition, bloodshed and displaced refugees. The independence movement of India was a mass movement and this democratic base of the movement necessarily had two components. One, it synthesised various interest groups under the umbrella of national pride and hope and secondly it moved ahead with certain aspirations and hope of future India where equality, democracy, harmony and overall development would prevail. The Constituent Assembly representing various interest groups bound by this vision of future India evolved a consensus and gave to the country a constitution which constituted a ‘Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic of India’ where justice (social, economic and political), equality (of status and opportunity), liberty (of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship) and fraternity (assuring dignity of individual and unity and integrity of the nation) would prevail. Given the then social and economic structure of India these aspiration seemed to be inherently conflicting which according to some critics gave rise to the fragmented State of India. However it would be better to examine the criticisms in the light of positive and negative constraints in the Indian legal system outlined above.

NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS: The Constitution of India establishes a democratic and federal polity with an independent judiciary. Certain fundamental rights are guaranteed to the citizens of India under Part III of the constitution. The Supreme Court of India has over the years evolved the theory of basic structure which establishes primacy of Rule of Law in the country. The theory of basic structure insists that there are certain principles which provide the constitution of India its distinct identity and hence cannot be tampered with by the amendment process

of the Parliament. Democracy, secularism, equality, separation of powers, federalism, judicial independence and dignity, judicial review, rule of law, balance between individual rights and social welfare etc. have been considered some of the principles constituting the basic structure of the Indian constitution.

Within its essential and underlying unity Indian nation nourishes ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity. Modern ideals were introduced in an India still having a feudal social structure. The dichotomy has not been easy to deal within the democratic framework. Hence, the democratic base of the Indian polity, cultural diversity and economic disparities limited the capacity of the government of India and that of the states to take strong measures for social and economic reforms. Characterized by some as ‘soft state’34 and by some as ‘fragmented state’35, the Indian political system has been characterized as a failure compared to South Korea, Brazil or China. However, the dominant section of the independence movement and consequently the Indian political system has been based on the notion of class reconciliation rather than class conflict, reform rather than revolution and bloodshed, democracy and respect of individual rather than dictatorship and suppression.

At the time of independence there were many predictions about the impending doom and disintegration of India. Democracy has been considered as completely alien to the Indian circumstances and survival of democracy in the country has been considered as a wonder.36 However, it is perhaps forgotten that India with a historical tendency of disintegrating, survives because of its democratic political system and creed of class reconciliation. It is easily forgotten that Indian social structure though not egalitarian in the modern sense of the term, was essentially democratic and based upon tolerance, cooperation and coexistence. Any other system might have brought about a civil war in the multi-ethnic and multi class society of India in the 20th century.

Proponents of liberal market economy find principle of rule of law incompatible with planning. According to Hayek law should only give general orders but not particular directions. He regards resort to such

general formulas as fairness, equity reasonableness, as evidence of the decline of the rule of law and defines rule of law as follows:

Stripped of all technicalities this means that government in all its actions is bound by rules fixed and announced beforehand-rules which make it possible to foresee with fair certainty how the authority will use its coercive powers in given circumstances, and to plan one’s individual affairs on the basis of this knowledge.37

Prof. Friedman makes an apt reply to this contention:

One of the best known of modern anti-planners, professor Hayek, illustrates the difference between a planned State and a State governed by the rule of law by saying that the former ‘commands people which road to take, whereas the latter only provides signposts.’38 But in modern industrial society vast masses live together in close physical and economic inter-dependence. The traffic is so dense that many more policemen, beacons, and sign-posts are necessary to avoid chaos. The traffic of London requires more regulation than that of Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh.39

He further states,

No armory of legal devices can imaginably solve such basic antinomies of political life as the tension between social planning and individual freedom. The strength of public opinion and political wisdom is ultimately more important than the most elaborate legal safeguards. The lawyer can, however, assert with confidence that incompatibility of planning with the rule of law is a myth sustainable only by prejudice or ignorance. And once he has grasped and accepted the essentials of the social evolution of the last half century, the lawyer can make an important contribution to the problem

of reconciling planning and freedom. Without its solution, democratic society cannot survive.40

Makers of modern independent India moved ahead with this principle in mind and shaped Indian legal system accordingly.

POSITIVE OBLIGATIONS: Notion of rule of law to be reality should reflect the social, economic and political conditions of the country. Dependence of rule of law on these forces is accepted by Mr. Justice Cardozo:

Logic and history and custom and utility of the accepted standards of the right conduct, are the forces which singly or in combination shape the progress of the law. Which of these forces dominate in any case, must depend generally upon the comparative importance or social value of the interests which will thereby be promoted or impaired.41

Leaders of Indian freedom struggle had marched on with a vision of independent, egalitarian, educated and self reliant India where every individual would be respected as a human being and India would proceed for overall development.42 Indian struggle for independence under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi was largely democratic in nature. Gandhiji wanted to transform the Indian social structure but by class cooperation and conciliation rather than by class conflict.43 To a large extent he successfully tried to evolve a national consensus for the goals of social and economic transformation. For this purpose he developed the concept of trusteeship. Gandhiji was able to bring within his fold not

much for its own sake but because it would make social and economic development possible. The central ideas were always –the raising of standards of living of the many millions in the country and social justice, i.e. reducing large inequalities in society –inequalities which have increased in the decades from the end of the last century.” V.T.

only the radical wing of the congress but also the caste—away part of the Indian society through the Poona Pact with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

When independent India set to frame a Constitution for its governance under the guidance of Dr. Ambedkar, it was clear that social and economic justice would be one of the pillars on which the New India would be built.

The Constitution was to foster the achievement of many goals. Transcendent among them was that of social revolution. Through this revolution would be fulfilled the basic needs of the common man, and, it was hoped, this revolution would bring about fundamental changes in the structure of Indian society-a society with a long and glorious cultural tradition, but greatly in need, Assembly members believed, of a powerful infusion of energy and rationalism.44

As Pandit Nehru put it,

The first task of this Assembly is to free India through a new constitution, to feed the starving people, and to clothe the naked masses, and to give every Indian the fullest opportunity to develop himself according to his capacity.

On the achievement of this great social change depended India’s survival. ‘If we cannot solve this problem soon,’ Nehru warned the Assembly, ‘all our paper constitutions will become useless and purposeless—If India goes down, all will go down; if India thrives, all will thrive; and if India lives, all will live—.45

K. Santhanam, a prominent southern member of the Assembly and editor of a major newspaper, described the situation in terms of three revolutions. The political revolution would end, he wrote, with independence. The social revolution meant to get (India) out of the medievalism based on birth, religion, custom, and community and reconstruct her social structure on modern foundations of law, individual merit, and secular education’. The third revolution was an economic one:

‘The transition from primitive rural economy to scientific and planned agriculture and industry’.46

Dr. Ambedkar, in his closing speech in the Constituent Assembly stated thus,

—What does social democracy mean? It means a way of life with monumental liberty, equality and fraternity as the principles of life. These principles of liberty, equality and fraternity are not to be treated as separate items in a trinity. They form a union of trinity in the sense that to divorce one from the other is to defeat the very purpose of democracy. —We must begin by acknowledging the fact that there is complete absence of two things in Indian society. One of these is equality. On the social plane, we have in India a society based on the principle of graded inequality which means elevation for some and degradation for others. On the economic plane, we have a society in which there are some who have immense wealth as against many who live in abject poverty. On 26th January, 1950, we are going to enter into a life of contradictions. In politics we will be recognizing the principle of one-man-one-vote and one vote-one-value. In our social and economic life, we shall, by reason of our social and economic structure, continue to deny the principle of one-man-one-value. How long shall we continue to live this life of contradictions? How long shall we continue to deny equality in our social and economic life? If we continue to deny it for long, we will do so only by putting our political democracy in peril. We must remove this contradiction at the earliest-possible moment or else those who suffer from inequality will blow up the structure of political democracy which this Assembly has so laboriously built up.47

Translating these principles into actualities, the Constitution establishes not only formal equality under Article 14, but also positive equality under Articles 15(3)& (4), 16(3)& (4), 17 and 23. The journey does not stop here. Directive Principles of State Policy enjoin the state to pursue social and economic justice depending on its economic capacity.48 Article 38 enjoins the ‘State to secure a social order for the promotion of welfare of the people:’

(1) The State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting as effectively as it may a social order in which justice, social, economic and political, shall inform all the institutions of the national life.

(2) The State shall, in particular, strive to minimize the inequalities in income, and endeavour to eliminate inequalities in status, facilities and opportunities, not only amongst individuals but also amongst groups of people residing in different areas or engaged in different vocations.

Article 39 enjoins that the ‘State shall in particular, direct its policy towards securing-

(a) That the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means to livelihood;

(b) That the ownership and control of the material resources of the community are so distributed as best to subserve the common good;

(c) That the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment;

(d) That there is equal pay for equal work for both men and women;(e) That the health and strength of the workers, men and women, and the tender

age of children are not abused and that citizens are not forced by economic necessity to enter avocations unsuited to their age or strength;

(f ) That children are given opportunities and facilities to develop in a healthy manner and in conditions of freedom and dignity and that childhood and youth are protected against exploitation and against moral and material abandonment.

48 See generally Udai Raj Rai, Fundamental Rights and Their Enforcement (2011) for exhaustive analysis of Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles under the Indian Constitution


21

Article 41 enjoins that the State shall, within the limits of its economic capacity and development, make effective provision for securing the right to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old age, sickness and disablement, and in other cases of undeserved want. Article 43 enjoins the state to endeavour to secure to all workers work, a living wage, conditions of work ensuring a decent standard to life and full enjoyment of leisure and social and cultural opportunities. Article 47 enjoins the state to raise the level of nutrition and the standard of living and to improve public health.

Over the years the Supreme Court has started giving wide interpretation to the fundamental rights incorporated in Part III of the constitution and in the process has been making many of the directive principles enforceable. Thus in Francis Coralie v. Union Territory of Delhi49 the Supreme Court expanding the meaning of ‘life’ under Article 21 observed:

But the question which arises is whether the right to life is limited only to protection of limb or faculty or does it go further and embrace something more. We think that the right to life includes right to live with human dignity and all that goes along with it, viz., the abre necessities of life such as adequate nutrition, clothing and shelter over the head and facilities for reading, writing and expressing oneself in diverse forms, freely moving about mixing and mingling with fellow human beings. Of course, the magnitude and content of the components of this right would depend upon the extent of the economic development of the country, but it must, in any view of the matter, include the right to the basic necessities of life and also the right to carry on such functions and activities as constitute the bare minimum expression of the human self.50

In Chameli Singh vs. State of Uttar Pradesh51, the Supreme Court while dealing with Article 21 has held that the need for a decent and civilized life includes the right to food, water and decent environment. The Court has observed in this connection;

49 AIR 1981 SC 746.50 Ibid. 753.51 (1996)2 SCC 549.

22

In any organized society, right to live as a human being is not ensured by meeting only the animal needs of man. It is secured only when he is assured of all faculties to develop himself and is freed from restrictions which inhibit his growth. All human rights are designed to achieve his object. Right to live guaranteed in any civilized society implies the right to food, water, decent environment, education, medical care and shelter. These are basic human rights known to any civilized society—.52

In this way the Supreme Court has included right to livelihood, right to shelter, right to health and right to medical care within the ambit of right to life among other things. Initially the Supreme Court was reluctant to accept right to livelihood within the scope of right to life. However, after Maneka Gandh v. Union of India53 the Court has changed its position. In Olga Tellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation54, the Court stated

—the question which we have to consider is whether the right to life includes the right to livelihood. We see only one answer to that question, namely, that it does. The sweep of the right to life conferred by Art. 21 is wide and far-reaching. It does not mean, merely, that life cannot be extinguished or taken away as, for example, by the imposition and execution of the death sentence, except according to procedure established by law. That is but one aspect of the right to life an equally important facet of that right is the right to livelihood because no person can live without the means of living, that is, the means of livelihood.55

Emphasizing upon the close relationship between ‘life’ and ‘livelihood’, the Court stated: “That, which alone makes it possible to live, leave aside what makes life livable, must be deemed to be an integral component of

52 Ibid. 555.53 (1978)1SCC 248.54 (1985) 3 SCC 54555 Ibid. at 571-72


23

the right to life. Deprive a person of his right to livelihood and you shall deprive him of his life.”56

In the case of HSEB vs. Suresh57, Banerjee, J. emphasized that guarantee of equality does not mean only formal equality before law but ‘real and substantive equality which strikes at the inequalities arising out of vast social and economic differentiation’. The Court referred with approval the Constitution Bench decision in D.S. Nakara v. Union of India58 that the feudal exploitation and draconian concept of law ought not to outweigh the basic structure of the Constitution or its socialistic status. The Court in Kirloskar Brothers ltd. v. Employees’ State Insurance Corpn59. stated

The Preamble of the Constitution of India, the Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles constituting trinity, assure to every person in a Welfare State social and economic democracy with equality of status and dignity of person, Political democracy without social and economic democracy would always remain unstable. Social democracy must become a way of life in an egalitarian social order. Economic democracy aids consolidation of social stability and smooth working of political democracy.60

In the case of Dalmia Cement (Bharat) Ltd. v. Union of India61, the Court observed

Law is the manifestation of principles of justice, equity and good conscience. Rule of Law should establish a uniform pattern for harmonious existence in a society where every individual would exercise his rights to his best advantage to achieve excellence, subject to protective discrimination. —Man’s existence is a creature of substantive as well as procedural law to which legal incidents would attach. Justice, equality and fraternity are trinity for social and

24

economic equality. Law is an instrument of social change as also defender for social change.62

Again the court observed

Social democracy means a way of life which recognizes liberty, equality and fraternity as principles of life. Thy are the trinity. One cannot diverse one from the other. Without equality, liberty would produce supremacy of the few over the many. Equality without liberty would denude the individual of his initiative to improve excellence. Without fraternity, liberty and equality would not nurture a their natural habitat. Social and economic justice is a constitutional right enshrined for the protection of the society. The right to socio-economic justice in the trinity, the Preamble, Fundamental Rights and Directives is to make the quality of life of the disadvantaged people meaningful.63

The Constitution of India constitutes India as a socialist secular democratic Republic. However, the country has not adopted socialism in the classic sense of the term.

Socialism is a much misunderstood word. Values determine contemporary socialism pure and simple. But it is not necessary at this stage to go into all its ramifications. The principal aim of a socialist State is to eliminate inequality in income and status and standards of life. The basic framework of socialism is to provide a decent standard of life to the working people and especially provide security from cradle to grave. This amongst others on economic side envisaged economic equality and equitable distribution of income. This is a blend of Marxism and Gandhism leaning heavily towards Gandhian socialism. During the formative years, socialism aims at providing all opportunities for pursuing the educational activity. For want of wherewithal or financial equipment the opportunity to be fully educated shall not be

62 Ibid., 11663 Ibid., 117


25

denied. Ordinarily, therefore, a socialist State provides for free education from primary to Ph.D. but the pursuit must be by those who have the necessary intelligence quotient and not as in our society where a brainy young man coming from a poor family will not be able to prosecute the education for want of wherewithal while the ill equipped son or daughter of a well-to-do father will enter the portals of higher education and contribute to national wastage. After the education is completed, socialism aims at equality in pursuit of excellence in the chosen avocation without let or hindrance of caste, colour, sex or religion and with full opportunity to reach the top, not thwarted by any considerations of status, social or otherwise. But even here the less-equipped person shall be assured a decent minimum standard of life and exploitation in any form shall be eschewed. There will be equitable distribution of national cake and the worst off shall be treated in such a manner as to push them up the ladder.64

Combination of vision of socialistic society within a democratic political framework has slowed down not only the process of economic growth in India but also realization of complete egalitarian social and economic structure. The National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution tries to evade the question of growing disparity between different social groups in the country. It observes that it is the reflection of growing international disparity. However, the Report observes that the state “should provide opportunity—to achieve steady economic social and cultural development and full and productive employment under conditions safeguarding fundamental political and economic freedom to the individual. The right to work does not mean that everybody is to be employed by the State. It only means that the State has to develop “employment opportunities” both in the public and private sector.65”

However, it needs to be conceded that democratic political framework with the policy of class conciliation might not have delivered quick results but it has ensured relative stability and survival of the Indian constitutional system in which the Indian public has an inherent faith and there is general acceptance of the system.

IIIINDIAN ECONOMIC POLICIES AND AIMS

Indian economic policies pursued by the leaders in independent India are blamed for much of the economic woes of the country. However, one wonders whether many alternatives were available at the time.

Indian Economy at the Time of Independence: The economic exploitation of India did not exactly take place due to lazize faire economy pursued by the British. When ‘merchant adventurers from the west made their first appearances in India, the industrial development of this country was at any rate not inferior to that of the more advanced European nations.’66

Since middle of eighteenth century the British deliberately ruined the trade and manufacturing business in India thus ruining the unity between the agriculture and manufacturing that existed in the country. In the early nineteenth century the duty on Muslin and Calico was, respectively, more than 27 percent and 71 percent ad valorem. Even then unable to compete with Indian manufactures Britain prohibited the import of Calico cloths. Heavy protective duties in England 70 and 80 percent respectively on Indian silk and cotton goods ruined those industries, while British goods were imported into India at a normal duty.67

In the parliamentary enquiry of 1840 it was reported that while British cotton and silk goods imported into India paid a duty of 3and half percent and woolen goods 2 percent, Indian cotton goods imported into Britain paid 10 percent, silk goods 20 percent and woolen goods 30 percent.68 The British historian of Indian History, Wilson observes,

It was stated in evidence (in 1813) that the cotton and silk goods of India upto the period could be sold for a profit in Britian markets at a price from 50 to 60 percent lower than those fabricated in England. It consequently became necessary to protect the latter by duties of 70 to 80 percent on their value, or by positive prohibition. Had this not been the case, had not such prohibitory duties and decrees existed, the mills of Paisley and Manchester would have been stopped in their outset, and could scarcely have been again set in motion, even by the power of steam. They were created by the sacrifice of the Indian manufacture.69

The ruin of Indian industry and commerce crowded the villages with little respite as agriculture was also ruined due to the new system of intermediaries.

It was not only the manufacturing towns and centers that were laid waste, and their population driven to crowd and overcrowd the villages; it was above all the basis of the old village economy, the union of agriculture and domestic industry, that received its mortal blow. The millions of ruined artisans and craftsmen, spinners, weavers, potters, tanners, smelters, smiths, alike from the towns and from the villages, had no alternative save to crowd into agriculture. In this way India was forcibly transformed, from being a country of combined agriculture and manufactures, into an agricultural colony of British manufacturing capitalism.70

Some historians are however skeptical of the de-industrialization theory. Although they do agree that industrialization in India did not get much aid of the government and was not much encouraged they argue that industries in India at the onset of the modern period were not well equipped to stand competition with the mill made cloths of the western industries and with the demise of the princely and aristocratic class in India they died for lack of patronage. With the establishment of British

rule in India the upper class of the society copied and followed the western way of living which adversely affected the tradition based Indian industries.71

Economic Philosophy of Leaders of Independence Movement: Leaders of enlightenment in India were initially not concerned much about independence. Their main task was to rid India of poverty, backwardness and ignorance that it had slumped into. The intelligentsia that was associated with the Indian National Congress was largely occupied with the task of sensitizing the British government, their representatives in India and the British public about the condition of Indian people of the Indian people and the need for economic, political and social reforms. It was actually as late as 1930 when the Congress declared full independence as its goal. Leaders of independence movement were as much engrossed with the passion of economic and social reforms as with the political one. There was a type of consensus that India should proceed for a more egalitarian economic and social order and goal of independence was to achieve that objective. The idea of political independence was intertwined with the goal of economic and social amelioration and all out development. The difference was only with regard to methods and means of the attainment of India of their dreams.

On the extreme left were the freedom fighters inspired by the leftist ideology who felt that total revolution was inevitable and overthrow of British yoke through armed rebellion and violent means was the first step towards the attainment of a communist society based on equality and justice. The British rule in India for them was an example of capitalist exploitation and imperialism. Leaders on the extreme right largely led by Sardar Patel wanted a gradual reform of the economic system without disturbing the Indian social order and traditions. In between were leaders largely led by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru who were equally influenced by the individualism and liberal and democratic traditions of Britain as well as leftist revolutionary ideology of Soviet Union idealizing communism. Both influences required drastic reform in the Indian social and economic situation but Pt. Nehru was committed to democracy. Mahatma Gandhi wavered between the group in the extreme right and the group led by Pt. Nehru. Again committed to the philosophy of democracy, peace

and non-violence he wanted transformation through class cooperation and adjustments rather than through class war. He perhaps rightly realized that this was the only possible option for a constructive and peaceful development. Other options would plunge the multiethnic and multiclass Indian society into a never ending civil war. Thus the Indian independence movement was a mix of social economic and political movement and the vision of free India that was nourished by the leaders and the masses. Democratic character of the national movement made it indispensible that the process of development in India would not be accompanied by rough shocks. It has to be again remembered that Mahatma Gandhi could not appreciate the modern civilization based on materialism and technological advancement. He craved for revival of ancient Indian values of spiritualism. Pt. Nehru although not against modernization blended Gandhi’s spirituality with his leftist leanings and condemned blind profit based materialistic aggression of the west. Indian leaders in general refused to define development solely in terms of growth maximization. Pt. Nehru found that ‘the competiveness and acquisitive characteristics of modern capitalist society, the enthronement of wealth above everything else, and the continuous strain and lack of security for many had afflicted entire populations with neurotic anxieties even in the midst of great material abundance.’72

These social, political and economic principles were incorporated in the Indian Constitution and became the guiding light of the economic structure of modern India in which at least initially Indian businessmen also cooperated. Different ideas about the nature and process of Indian economic development continued to be debated throughout in independent India and are being debated even today under ostensibly different terminologies. Swadeshi vs. videshi is now protection of domestic industry vs. liberal market economy; modernization vs. traditionalism is now development vs. environment and ecology or sustainable development; leftist vs. rightist ideology of growth is inclusive growth vs. GDP growth.

Economic, Trade and Industrial Policy: Apart from the ethical and spiritual orientation of leaders of independence movement there were certain practical reasons for the shape of the inward looking economic policy that India adopted. The post World War II world was generally

protectionist. Hence the newly independent India could not much depend on the export market.

While export expansion and diversification are made difficult enough by all the internal barriers implicit in the very notion of underdevelopment, the problems are aggravated by the restrictive import policies of the industrial countries. The developed countries of the West all too frequently impose tariffs, quotas, and other restrictions upon the products of allegedly “cheap” foreign labour. Nor have the Communist countries yet adopted trade policies that would assure substantial outlets of manufactured products from South Asia.

If development is to occur in the South Asian countries, it will not come as a response to foreign demand for the products in which, the region has traditionally had a comparative advantage. Not only does this fact mean that economic growth is a more difficult task than it was when the developed countries confronted it, but it implies that there will be much more autarky and much less “automatic” response to external forces in the growth process itself. Development must be internally based and deliberately prodded and nurtured, since the spontaneous growth-inducing stimulus of a relatively free and expanding international trade is no longer present.73

Instability of export earnings created a recurring balance of payment crisis and also hindered import of products necessary for developmental process. Hence import of many essential consumer goods items had to be restricted. ‘As a result of these factors India and Pakistan have been forced into policies of import substitution, and their scope for policy in general has been severely restricted.’74

Capitalist model of development would have excluded large majority of rural and peasant population from the fruits of growth and development. Moreover, India did not have a well established middle or capitalist class. Therefore it was inevitable for the state to take a leading and guiding role in economic development of the country. While the industrial policy resolution of 1948 provided for mixed

31

economy whereby government monopoly was only in areas of atomic energy, rail transport and arms and ammunition, 18 other industries were identified wherein government would have control and certain key industries like coal, telephone aircraft manufacture were to be started by the government.75 Despite the opposition of Sardar Patel, Planning Commission was set up in March 1950 with three principles as a special terms of reference in preparation of a plan: (1) that the citizens, men and women equally, have the right to an adequate means of livelihood, (2) that the ownership and control of the material resources of the country are so distributed as best to sub-serve the common good; and (3) that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment.76 The need to institute a system of controls on capital issues, industrial licensing, foreign exchange allocations, imports and exports, and price was affirmed, but they simultaneously conceded that “the expansion of industrial production during the period of the Plan would be largely the responsibility of the private sector.”77 They welcomed foreign capital “when finance is the main handicap in the progress of industry.”78

Since 1951 the State started increasingly asserting its commanding role in the economic development. In the first five year plan the planners announced their intention to increase central supervision and control over the private sector. Private enterprise would subsequently have to operate within the framework of the new Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951, which provided that no new industrial unit or substantial expansions to existing plants could be made without a license from the central government. It also empowered the government to investigate the operations of any industry to make regulations concerning the quality and price of production. Second, there was a new emphasis on overtaking the private sector as the preeminent agency of industrial development.79 In his speech to National Development Council delivered in November 9 1954 Pt. Nehru outlined the broad principles and goals of the planning in India. First, the problem of India’s poverty could not

be solved by the gradual expansion of consumer goods industries based mainly on imported machinery. Rather, it was necessary, to follow an import substitution strategy aimed at a fundamental transformation of the economy to strengthen the domestic capacity for capital formation. Metals, power, and heavy machinery—“the basic things”—had to be produced in India. Second, as far as possible, rising consumer demands should be satisfied by an expansion of village and small-scale industries, both to maximize additional employment opportunities and create the foundations of a diversified and decentralized economy in the rural sector.80

He stated clearly;

The picture I have in mind is definitely and absolutely a socialistic picture of society. I am not using the word in a dogmatic sense at all. I mean largely that the means of production should be socially owned and controlled for the benefit of society as a whole. There is plenty of room for private enterprise provided the main aim is kept clear.81

In the second plan drafted by Prof. Mahlanobis Fundamental structural changes in the economy were envisaged. Modern manufacturing and mining were expected to account for a much larger share of the gross domestic product. Within the modern sector, there was to be a shift away from the production of consumer items toward the output if intermediate and capital goods. In the organized industrial sector as a whole, the size of public investment was to increase both absolutely and relatively to that of private enterprise. These proposals were combined with recommendations for transferring large investment resources from the private sector to the state. The planners called for nationalization of the Imperial Bank and the life insurance industry, the creation of a State Trading Corporation, and revisions in the tax structure to increase income taxes and introduce new taxes on wealth, expenditure, and capital gains. These developments deepened the developing differences between the business houses and the government. Criticizing the second five year plan the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry

(FICCI) charged that the planners had ignored basic economic criteria of economic efficiency in favouring the public sector as the major agency of industrialization. They predicted that “unrealistically high” taxes on the private sector would weaken initiative; that the proposed restrictions on the expansion of factory production in favour of inefficient cottage and small-scale industries would result in an acute shortage of consumer goods; and that the whole structure of the Second Plan would collapse in the face of strong inflationary pressures and rising prices. Actually, the industrialists wanted nothing less than a complete reversal of roles between the public and private sectors. FICCI argued: ‘the proper spheres of activities for the public sector in the future are the formation and maintenance of social capital. In an underdeveloped country like India, the task of providing the basic requirements such as power, or from a long term point of view, education, health etc., and also the institutional framework within which private enterprise is to work is in itself sufficient for any government administration to be fully occupied with. A revision in the official approach on the subject is urgently called for.’.82 However, the policy makers thought otherwise. For them inasmuch as the state was the principal representative of the community interest, the public sector ‘has not only to initiate developments which the private sector is either unwilling or unable to undertake; it has to play the dominant role in shaping the entire pattern of investments in the economy—it is inevitable, if is to proceed at the pace envisaged and to contribute effectively to the attainment of the larger social ends in view that the public sector must grow not only absolutely but also relatively to the private sector.’83 ‘Since large investments in capital projects would not immediately increase the supply of consumer goods or create substantial new job opportunities, the planners proposed to rely on labour-intensive village and small industries to the extent possible in meeting consumer demands.’84

Pt. Nehru’s economic policy was being criticized by both the left wings and the right wings of the national politics. After the death of Pt.

Nehru, Prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri sought to reverse the role of state in economic development. There was a general criticism from the industry associations and the international organizations about the huge investment which the public sector companies were demanding without providing corresponding results. Mrs. Gandhi initially tried to balance between the opposite pulls regarding national economic programmes however, when she became vulnerable to opposition within the congress party she appealed directly to the masses and garibi hatao became the slogan. It was not only the fear of her own vulnerability but also of national vulnerability that made Mrs. Gandhi suspicious of big industrial and financial houses. Hence, her policy became increasingly socialistic and bank nationalization and elimination of privy purse her major policy decisions to eliminate elitist section of the society. After emergency in her term as prime minister from 1980 to the time of her death, Mrs. Gandhi was less radical in leftist bent of economic programs. The world economic situation was also slowly changing. Indian economic policy increasingly continued to liberalize but there was always an emphasis on socialistic pattern of society and economic independence. Thus on the one hand while socialistic pattern of society kept the policy makers suspicious of big industrial houses, on the other hand the idea of economic independence induced the policy makers to protect the domestic industry against competition from imports. Indian industrialists largely wanted liberalization on the first but not on the second. After the financial crisis in 1990 the country took a major break from the past trends of economic policy and embarked on largely liberal economic and industrial policy. Hence industrial licensing was done away with for most of the industries, and foreign direct investment regime was slowly liberalized. The government still maintained quantitative restrictions on imports which had to be phased out after decision of the appellate body in India-Quantitative Restrictions case. C.P. Chandrashekhar divides the periods of industrialization in terms of policy in three phases.85

The first was the period of dirigisme (early 1950s to the middle of the 1960s), with a highly interventionist state leading development. In the second phase-the middle of the 1960s to the end of the 1980s-interventionism remained in place but, because of evidence that

35

intervention had not been implemented as planned and had therefore not realized its multiple objectives, it was losing its legitimacy. This triggered a contradictory phase in policy where the strengthening of some measures of intervention was accompanied by a creeping process of limited liberalization. Finally, the third phase began in 1991-92 when, in the wake of the balance of payments crisis of 1991, the government opted for an accelerated process of liberalization.

In terms of episodes of growth and deceleration he divides the periods according to following three phases:86

(a) The immediate post-independence years (1950-64), when Indian industry grew at a creditable rates compared both with earlier phases of industrialization and with the pace of industrialization in many similarly placed developing countries; (b) the period from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, referred to as one of secular stagnation; and (c) the years since the 1980s when growth has not only risen on average and remained high for a relatively long period of time, but has shown signs of further acceleration after 2002.

The Indian industry therefore was largely protected from competition from foreign products but its internal growth stunted because of limitations on foreign investment and Indian economic, social and political scenario. When the market was opened up for competition it had to be ensured that the Indian industry is able to withstand the pressure.

With the economy moving onwards the path of liberalization, there is increasing criticism of growing economic disparity between different sections of society. Growth in naxalite movements and increase in criminal activities is at times attributed to growth in economic disparity. Measures by the government such as rural employment guarantee schemes have yielded limited relief. Government, especially that of a developing country has limited resources to subsidize a large section of population for their everyday needs, hence it has to ensure maintenance of the avenues in market which may provide income to the population within its sovereign territory. This ensures that its external and internal positive obligations are thereby fulfilled.

The law and application of antidumping measures in India has to be examined in this background. While excessive protectionist application hurt the consumers and is against the international commitments which India has undertaken, maintenance of domestic industry against aggressive marketing pressure is also necessary as they are an important pillars of national economy. Burden of a modern liberal democratic state with social equity as a commitment can best be described in the words of Friedman which still holds true:

In short, the State as arbitrator in a democratic society has three tasks: the maintenance of a rough balance between contending organized groups and the usually unorganized consumer; the protection of individual freedom of association; and the safeguarding of overriding State interests, such as the maintenance of export capacity.87

He again remarks,

[A]ny restoration of genuine economic competition, as a substitute for planning, could only be undertaken by deliberate State action on a very considerable scale. Such State action might operate through the revision of monopoly legislation, and through other measures designed to restore the free market. But all this would require a degree of state interference which might possibly lead to an economically preferable situation but which would require a very substantial amount of State interference, that is, State Planning.

In short planning action by the modern democratic State of the type just described means an interference predictable in general outline but not in detail, according to a regulated procedure and subject to compensation, as compared with hazards of economic competition which exposes the weaker to unpredictable action by the stronger, without compensation. The transfer of such action from the private to the public sphere does not weaken but strengthens the influence of law. It increases if anything the amount of protection for the individual.88

Same idea seems to be echoing in the following observations of Katju, J. in the case of Reliance Industries vs. Designated Authority and Others.89

After India became independent in 1947, the Government of Independent India headed by Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru decided to industrialize India as it was realized that the country cannot escape from poverty, unemployment and other social evils unless there is industrialization. It was also known to them that a country cannot be really independent in modern times unless it is industrialized. Hence, the Industrial Policy Resolution was adopted by the Indian government in the early 1950s and encouragement was given to the growth of heavy industry and other industries so that India may become economically independent and a prosperous nation.

The result was that an industrial base was created in India after independence and this has definitely resulted in some progress. The purpose of Section 9A can, therefore, easily be seen. The purpose was that our industries which had been built up after independence with great difficulties must not be allowed to be destroyed by unfair competition of some foreign companies. Dumping is a well-known method of unfair competition which is adopted by the foreign companies. This is done by selling goods at a very low price for some time so that the domestic industries cannot compete and are thereby destroyed, and after such destruction has taken place, prices are again raised.90

CHAPTER IIAnti-Dumping Law of India

The Constitution of India confers power to impose tax on imports and export and to legislate on trade related issues on the Union Parliament. For this purpose among other laws Parliament has enacted the Customs Act 1962 and the Customs Tariff Act 1975. Customs Tariff Act which supplements the Customs Act provides for the imposition of additional duties in addition to the basic customs duty provided under section 12 of the customs Act. Among these is the antidumping duty provided under sections 9A, 9AA and 9B of the Customs Tariff Act. These basic provisions are supplemented by Customs Tariff (Identification, Assessment and Collection of Anti-dumping Duty on Dumped Articles and for Determination of Injury) Rules, 1995. The antidumping law and rules in India were modified to meet the requirements of the Uruguay Round Antidumping Agreement. Therefore the law relating to antidumping has been brought in conformity with the antidumping agreement.

Article VI of GATT 1994 and the Antidumping Agreement empower a WTO member to take antidumping measures if three conditions are fulfilled;(a) there is dumping, that is, export price is less than the normal value (b) there is material injury to the domestic industry producing like products and (c) material injury is caused by dumping. The antidumping agreement then lays down certain procedural requirements for conducting investigation and principles for determining normal value, material injury and causal link. If there is a positive finding of dumping, injury and causal link then the importing country can take antidumping measures which can be in the form of antidumping duty or price undertaking. Importing member is also empowered to take provisional measures pending the conclusion of final findings of the investigation. Antidumping measures once taken can remain in force for five years unless before the end of five years there is a sunset review in which it is


39

determined that dumping and injury are likely to continue or recur in case of revocation of duty. In such a case antidumping duty can again be continued for next five years. And this process can go on. However, in between five years there has to be mid-term review in which it has to be determined whether there is need to continue the duty at the same rate.

Section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act provides that where any article is exported from any country or territory to India at less than its normal value, then upon the importation of such article into India, the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, impose an antidumping duty not exceeding the margin of dumping in relation to such article. Section 9B(b) (ii) provides that in case of imports from country/territory which is member of the WTO, it also has to be determined that dumping is causing or threatening to cause material injury to the domestic industry producing like products. Antidumping duty under the antidumping agreement can be only upto dumping margin that is the difference between the export price and normal value. Many countries in addition to determining dumping margin also determine injury margin and if latter is less than the former, antidumping measures are taken only upto injury margin. In India too there is provision for calculating injury margin and antidumping measure is taken only upto injury margin if it is less than dumping margin. Injury margin is the difference between landed value of the imports and non injurious price of the product. Non injurious price is the constructed sale price of the domestic industry which will give a reasonable return on investment and if domestic industry is able to sell its product at that price it will have no injury. Landed value of imports includes all the expenses incurred during the course of importation up to the port including the non-creditable duties of customs.

1. Determination of Dumping: Margin of dumping for an article is the ‘difference between its export price and its normal value’. Provision relating to calculation of normal value is given in section 9A(1)(c). It outlines three ways for determination of normal value as given in article VI of the GATT 1994 and article 2.1 of the antidumping agreement. Annex 1 provides for Rules for calculation of constructed normal value which are in consonance with the Antidumping Agreement. In accordance with Article 2.2.1.1 of the Antidumping Agreement Para 1 of Annexure 1 provides that the costs should be calculated on the basis of records kept by the exporter or producer under investigation provided they are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles

of the exporting country and reasonably reflect the cost associated with production and sale of the product. Para 2 of the annex has rules as to when sales at a price below the per unit cost of production can be discarded as not being in the ordinary course of trade. Determination of normal value should normally be done on the basis of sales of like product in domestic market unless they are not in the ordinary course of trade or home market prices are not reliable or the exporter has not cooperated in giving the relevant information or data. In the case of Volznsky Pipe Plant v. DA91 complaint of the appellant was that the designated authority relied on constructed normal value even though they submitted full data of their domestic sales prices and cost of production. The tribunal held that in terms of Annexure I of AD rules the designated authority should have determined the normal value based on the domestic sale price provided such domestic sales prices were not below per unit cost of production plus administrative selling and general cost as provided in Annexure-I.

In case of determination of normal value, dispute often arises on which information should the investigating authority rely. The issue arose in some of the cases in India. In the case of DA (ADD Directorate), Min of Commerce vs. Haldar Topsoe A/S.92 In this case the issue arose whether an investigating authority has any discretion to reject the material produced by one of the parties to the proceeding in regard to the alternatives enumerated in section 9-A(1) (c)(ii)(a) and(b)93 and prefer any other material to establish the normal value. In this case the respondent allegedly did not provide all the information. Investigating

91 MANU/CE/4063/200192 (2000)6 SCC 62693 9-A(1) (C)(a) Comparable representative price of the like article when exported

from the exporting country or (territory to) an appropriate third country as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6); or (b) the cost of production of the said article in the country of origin alongwith reasonable addition for administrative selling and general costs, and for profits, as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6); Provided that in the case of import of the article from a country other than the counry of origin and where the article has been memerly transshipped through the country of export or such article is not produced in the country of export or there is no comparable price in the country of export, the normal value shall be determined with reference to its price in the country of origin.


41

Authority specifically asked for information regarding export price of the respondent to third countries which the respondent failed to provide. Therefore, on the basis of ‘best judgment assessment’ principle the investigating authority relied on the price list of a German exporter to find out the normal value since there was no domestic market for catalysts (subject goods) in Denmark. On appeal CEGAT held that since antidumping duties are exporter or manufacturer specific, price of similar article manufactured by other exporters/manufacturers could not be the basis for finding out the normal value. According to the CEGAT in absence of any domestic market for the subject goods in Denmark and in the absence of any material to show the respondent’s export price to appropriate third countries, the only basis to determine antidumping duty would be the manufacturer’s cost of production in his country.

The Supreme Court however, held that the statute has nowhere restricted the power of the authority. According to the Supreme Court under S 9-A of CTA and Rule 6 the “normal value” will have to be determined with reference to comparable price. The words “comparable price” in the context can only be with reference to the price of similar articles sold under similar circumstances irrespective of the manufacturer. According to the Supreme Court by holding antidumping duties to be exporter specific, the tribunal could not restrict the scope of the investigation only to materials to be produced by a party against whom an investigation is being conducted. The statute has given much wider powers to the investigating authority then understood by the tribunal. R 6(8) specifically empowers the authority to record its findings on the basis of the facts available to it in cases where an interested party refuses access to or otherwise does not provide the necessary information to it. The use of the words “sale of like articles” and “comparable representative price of the like articles in section 9(A)(1)(c) also indicates that the statute intended that while determining the normal value, the Authority has the discretion to rely on such material as is available before it which reflects the comparable value of the articles concerned; meaning thereby that the Authority is not bound to look into the material which is produced by the interested party. Therefore any argument which restricts the discretion of the Authority in the area of appreciation of evidence on the ground that the antidumping duty is manufacturer-specific, would have to be rejected. Similar issue of treating European Union as a territory came

Sheela Rai

42

up in the case of Jujo Thermal Ltd. v. DA94 wherein antidumping duty was imposed on imports of thermal sensitive paper (TSP) from the European Union. In the preliminary findings, no antidumping duty was imposed on imports from Finland because during the period of investigation TSP was not exported to India from Finland. However, in final findings imports from Finland were included in the antidumping duty notification. It was challenged by the exporter. Tribunal held that Finland was part of the territory of European Union and manufacturers from Finland began to export goods to India subsequently. In this situation the remedy available to them was review of the notification as provided by the Act and the Rules. Tribunal also rejected the contention of the appellants that if exports from Finland were less than 3% then they should have been excluded from the purview of antidumping duties. It held that although Finland was a separate country it was nevertheless part of the territory of European Union.

Another case similar to Haldar Topsoe case is the case of Addisseo France S.A.S. vs. Ministry of Finance &the DA95 antidumping duty was imposed on Vitamin AD3 500/100 imported from the EU and Singapore. Antidumping duty was imposed on exporters/producers from the EU except M/s BASF Germany. On the ground of non-cooperation by the appellant company the designated authority constructed normal value for them on the basis of information given by the domestic industry. Appellant contended that the appellant French company and the BASF Germany were engaged in the manufacture and sale of the subject goods in direct competition with each other in the European Union as well as in the international market. It was also pointed out that CIF price of AD3 exports to India by both BASF Germany and the appellant French company were in close range. However, the tribunal on the basis of the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of DA vs. Haldar Topsoe96 held that European Union was a territory and the investigation also proceeded on the basis that European Union was one territory. The DA received questionnaire response from the appellant and BASF Germany. On the ground that sufficient information was not given by the appellant it was treated as non-cooperative exporter and the determination of normal value was based on facts available. Tribunal held

94 MANU/CE/0701/200095 MANU/CE/0179/200396 (2000)6 SCC 626


43

that while “facts available” rule is a rule of adverse inference, it is also a rule of prudence and the DA should seek corroboration for the secondary information made available to it while seeking to determine normal value under “facts available” rule. The normal value determined for BASF Germany was a “comparable price” “of similar articles sold under similar circumstances irrespective of the manufacturer”. AD3 manufactured by BASF Germany and M/s Addisseo France SAS were admittedly similar articles. They were also sold under similar circumstances, in as much as both are sold in competitive conditions in the European Union. So a “comparable price” for the AD3 of one rightly constitutes the “comparable price” for the other that is the normal value. Therefore the tribunal held that there was no legal justification for imposing antidumping duty on the appellant.

Reliance on the information submitted by the exporter was challenged in the case of Exide Industries Ltd. v. DA97 the appellant contested the findings of the designated authority whereby it had excluded three Chinese companies from the coverage of antidumping duties on the ground that they were run on market principles and accepted the information submitted by them on domestic sale price and other matters. It was argued that China was a non market economy country therefore the information submitted by the three exporters could not be relied upon. It was also argued that exception in favour of certain manufacturers had the effect of defeating the purpose of imposing antidumping duty on imports from China, because the imposition of duty on supplies from some sources was rendered ineffective by the un-taxed supply of dumped batteries from some manufacturers. The tribunal held that the designated authority treated the three manufacturers as units run on market principle without properly scrutinizing the matter. It was found that the data submitted by one of the units atleast did not show that its commercial practices could be treated as conforming to market economy principles. No verification was carried out at the premises of the exporters to satisfy that the data summary filed in the questionnaire responses correctly reflected the transactions as per the books of accounts of the individual units and that the accounts satisfy the General Accounting Standards of the country. The rule prescribed a different standard for China which was named as non-market economy country. If that standard was to be varied, the units

97 MANU/CE/0118/2003

Sheela Rai

44

in question had to establish that they were run according to the market principle, which was a strict standard. The investigation excluded the three units without the necessary scrutiny.

Problem regarding reliability of information becomes more acute when the exporters do not respond or do not provide complete authentic information. In this situation the investigating authority relies on best information available. In the case of AIIGMA V. DA98 the tribunal held that importers were not entitled to question the correctness of normal value at the appellate stage since they were neither exporters nor producers. Tribunal pointed out that Clause (1) of Annexure 1 of the Antidumping Rules state that normal value has to be determined on the basis of records kept by the exporter or the producer in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the exporting country. Since the exporter and producer did not cooperate the designated authority proceeded to determine normal value as allowed the by the rules. Normal value thus determined could not be challenged by anyone except the exporter or the producer. However in the case Merck Ltd. v. DA99 the tribunal allowed the importer to file an appeal and challenge the determination of normal value because it was a subsidiary of cooperating exporter from the EU. In the case of Dow Chemical Pacific Ltd. v. Designated Authority100 the producer refused to provide any information relating to cost of production and insisted that normal value be determined on the basis of sale price to Pakistan as an appropriate third country. However, the Tribunal held that the Designated Authority was justified in rejecting this contention and determining normal value on the basis of date provided by the domestic industry and from data found on records.

Another important issue which comes up in determination of normal value is what the ‘product under consideration’ is and whether two products are like products? Section 2(d) of the Antidumping Rules of 1995 in accordance with the Antidumping Agreement provides a narrow definition of ‘like products’. The issue of product under consideration arose in the case of Association of BOPP Manufacturers v. Designated Authority101 where it was contended that the investigation was started

98 MANU/CE/0177/200099 MANU.CE/0215/2006 100 MANU/CE/0529/2000101 MANU/CE/0187/2004


45

in respect of BOPP film only. The investigating authority later on took metalized film also under the scope of inquiry. It was contended that the BOPP film are produced by extrusion of Poly Propylene accordingly and the metallic films are produced by further processing of BOPP films. However, the tribunal held that the domestic industry is manufacturer of metallic film also. During investigation the designated authority disclosed to the interested parties that metallic films were also part of the investigation and in response to public hearing an interested party had raised objection in respect of metallic film. The domestic industry in their written submission also made submission in respect of metallic films. In the disclosure statement, the designated authority specifically made clear that metallic film were also part of the investigation. Therefore the tribunal concluded that investigation was in respect of the BOPP films which also include metallic films.

Over-inclusion or under-inclusion of data in calculating dumping can be one of the issues on which findings of the antidumping authority can be challenged. In the case of Volznsky Pipe Plant v. DA102 the appellant complained that the DA erred by taking into account the overall operating position of the exporter while determining the question of dumping of imported goods. The tribunal held that antidumping investigations are to be carried out with regard to alleged dumping of specific goods and not with regard to the overall operations of the exporter or exporters. The investigations are to be focused on the article alleged to be dumped and not the overall operating loss/profit of the exporter. Therefore the DA was clearly in error in taking into account the overall operating losses of the exporter while investigating the complaint of dumping.

Antidumping Agreement and the Indian antidumping law require fare comparison between normal value and export price. Rule 6 of Annexure 1 of Antidumping Rules in accordance with the Antidumping Agreement requires that comparison should be made at the same level of trade normally at ex-factory level, and in respect of sales made at as nearly as possible the same time. In Oxo Alcohols Industries’ Association vs. DA103 export prices were compared with normal value of few months back. It was argued that as per paragraph 6 of Annexure I to the Antidumping Rules it was mandatory to compare export price with normal value at the

102 MANU/CE/4063/2001103 MANU/CE/4123/2001

Sheela Rai

46

same level of trade and in respect of sales made at as nearly as possible the same time. The tribunal held that designated authority and the central government had not succeeded in showing any legal basis for finding out the normal value with reference to date of indent. In absence of such a legal provision, the designated authority was not justified in comparing the export price with normal value assessed on the dates on which orders were placed for the said consignments. Another issue in this case was that weighted average normal value was compared with weighted average export price. Tribunal noted that Clause (iv) of Para 6 of the Antidumping Rules provides that the existence of margin of dumping during the investigation phase shall normally be established on the basis of a comparison of a weighted average normal value and export prices. Therefore the tribunal re-fixed the duty at different dumping margin.

In the case of Simalin Chemical Industries vs. DA104 appeal was made by the exporter for annulment of final finding imposing antidumping duties on imports of Hexamine originating or exported from M/s. Saudi Formaldehyde Chemical Company Ltd. Standing of the domestic industry was contended but the tribunal found that petitioners accounted for 43.09% of the total production and the petitioner and supporter together accounted for 87.98% of the total Indian production. Therefore there was no error in the findings of the DA. Appellant further contended that imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia were wrongly cumulated because for the bulk of investigation period ,that is, for 12 months out of 18 months there was no import from Russia. Since cumulation could be done only if it was appropriate in the light of condition of competition between imported products and like domestic products, no cumulation should have been done. In this regard the respondent pointed out the provision of the Antidumping Agreement and decision of the tribunal in Rishiroop Polymers Pvt. Ltd. was cited also which brought about the difference between Indian law and the EU law. In the Rishiroop Polymers case the appellant had contended against cumulation of imports from Germany and Korea on the ground that Germany was a competitor to Korea in respect of impugned goods and such cumulation was contrary to provisions. However, the tribunal in that case rejected the contention of the appellants on the ground that under the Indian law the condition of competition between imported products was conspicuously absent.

104 MANU/CE/0119/2003


47

Following that decision the tribunal in the present case also dismissed the objection of the appellant.

Appellant also contended that the designated authority wrongly constructed normal value by not relying on price of export to Spain and not treating profit margin of the sales to third countries as an ingredient of constructed normal value. DA stated that it was evident from final findings that the appellant had requested determination of normal value on the basis of cost of production basis as they did no sell any Hexamine in the domestic market. Tribunal noted that the procedure for determination of normal value on the basis of cost of production was adopted on the request of the appellant and in that determination a reasonable addition has to be made towards administrative, selling and general costs and profits. Para 4 of Annexure I of the Antidumping Rules provide that the amounts of ASG costs and for profit shall be based on actual data pertaining to production and sales in the ordinary course of trade of the like articles by the exporter or producer under investigation. Sale by way of export to third countries by the appellant exporter constituted 95.26% of the total sale. The average profit earned by M/s SFCCL on the third country sales had been adopted by the authority as normal profit. Tribunal held that there was no violation of the rules by the DA in arriving at the average profit. The tribunal accepted the contention of the domestic industry that allocation of SGA and financing costs should not have been on the basis of installed capacity. It was held that the allocation should have been on the basis of turnover because the cost allocation should reasonably reflect the actual costs associated with the production and sale of various goods and a turnover based allocation does that.

Decision of the Supreme Court in Haldar Topsoe and Reliance Industry Case has given rise to an issue, that is, whether normal value is country specific or exporters specific? The issue has arisen actually due to incorrect interpretation and reference in Reliance Industry Case of the observation of the Supreme Court in the Haldar Tospsoe Case. In Haldar Topsoe case the issue as seen above was whether designated authority can rely on best information available and whether it can consider European Union as territory because the exporter in this case was not responding? The Supreme Court answered in affirmative which is in accordance with Indian law and the Antidumping Agreement. However, in Reliance Industry case the issue was calculation of non-injurious price. In this case also the Supreme Court correctly decided that injury should be assessed

Sheela Rai

48

for domestic industry as a whole and not for any segment of it. However, then the Supreme Court made an observation that as per the decision of the Court in Haldar Topsoe case normal value has to be decided for the country as a whole. The matter has been referred to larger bench.105 It is submitted that normal value need not be always same for country as a whole. While in constructed normal value it can be same for country as a whole but not always when calculating on the basis of first method or even second method. Antidumping agreement and Indian law mandates that individual margin of dumping should be decided as far as possible. The Indian designated authority has been assessing both normal value and export price to the detriment of exporter in case exporter did not cooperate. In such cases normal value is assessed as highest of the available prices and export price as lowest of the available price of the product. That is why margin of dumping for non-cooperative exporter is higher than that of cooperative exporter. Designated Authority has also in some of the cases adopted the approach that while constructed normal value can be one for the country as a whole but normal value determined by first method or second method may be different for companies if they have sale in domestic market and they are found to operate under market economy principle.

Determination of Injury: Antidumping measures are justified only if dumping is causing or threatening to cause material injury to domestic industry producing like products. However, if dumping is from countries which are not member of the WTO, requirement to establish material injury is absent. However, the investigating authority in most of such cases has also established the presence of material injury. Rules relating to establishment of material injury under the Indian law are same as in the antidumping agreement. Investigating authority has largely followed same analysis for establishment of injury in review cases also.

There is provision for cumulative assessment of injury in case of dumping from more than one source. Rules for cumulative assessment of injury was discussed in the case of Forum of Acrylic Fibre Ltd. v. DA/Ministry of Finance and Ors.106 wherein the tribunal noted that under the rules cumulative assessment of injury can be done only if:

105 Designated Authority, Ministry of Commerce and Industry and Anr.vs. Indian Metals and Ferro Alloys Ltd. (2009)2 SCC 510

106 MANU/CE/0013/2006

(a) Margin of dumping established in relation to the imports from each country is more than 2 percent expressed as a percentage of export price.

(b) volume of the imports from each country is more than three percent in light of the conditions of competition between the imported article and the like domestic product.

(c) cumulative assessment of the effect of import is appropriate in light of the conditions of competition between the imported article and the like domestic articles.

This was case of review of antidumping duties imposed earlier. During the review the designated authority found that there was no margin of dumping with regard to imports from UK. The first mandatory requirement of margin of dumping from each country of two percent not being satisfied, no cumulative assessment could have been done. Therefore price effect of the imports from Germany and Bulgaria had to be separately assessed. From Germany there was no price undercutting but there was 5-15% price undercutting with regard to imports from Bulgaria. Therefore there was no warrant to hold that dumped imports from Bulgaria were not injurious. Another case of cumulative assessment of injury was Simalin Chemical Industries vs. DA107 where appellant contended that imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia were wrongly cumulated because for the bulk of investigation period that is for 12 months out of 18 months there was no import from Russia. Since cumulation could be done only if it was appropriate in the light of condition of competition between imported products and like domestic products, no cumulation should have been done. In this regard the respondent pointed out the provision of the antidumping agreement and decision of the tribunal in Rishiroop Polymers Pvt. Ltd. was cited which brought about the difference between Indian law and the EU law. In the Rishiropp Polymers case the appellant had contended against cumulation of imports from Germany and Korea on the ground that Germany was a competitor to Korea in respect of impugned goods and such cumulation was contrary to provisions. However, the tribunal in that case rejected the contention of the appellants on the ground that under Indian law the condition of competition between imported products was conspicuously

absent. Following that decision the tribunal in the present case also dismissed the objection of the appellant.

Requirement of causal link mandates finding that material injury is caused by dumping. For this, therefore, it is necessary that domestic industry should be producing the product under consideration. This was issue in the case of Magnet Users Association v. Designated Authority,108 where antidumping duty was imposed on ring magnets of all grades and size. Appellants contended that the domestic industry did not produce all varieties of ring magnets. Appellants contended that antidumping duty on magnets with energy product (BH max) below 2.8 MGO min would be beyond the requirements of protecting domestic industry from injury caused by dumped imports. Domestic industry contended that antidumping duty would enable it to produce those varieties also. Tribunal held that causal link between injury to domestic industry and dumped imports is an essential requirement for the imposition of antidumping duty. Therefore there was no justification for including grades of ring magnets which were not produced in India for the purpose of antidumping duty. In the case of Indian Refractory Makers Association v. DA109 Antidumping duties were imposed on Dead Burnt Magnesite (DBM) of all grades/types originating in and exported from China PR. The appellants imported DBM from China and produced refractory bricks out of the same. The imposition of antidumping duty adversely affected them by making their input costlier. They contended that DBM having less than 4% silica content by weight was not produced in India and therefore the refractory manufacturers had to import DBM of that grade. They further contended that since local manufacturers were not producing that DBM therefore they were not suffering consequential injury. The DA did not accept the argument on the ground that the imported DBM was directly competing with the local DBM. However, the tribunal held that it was clear that DBM of less than 4% silica content imported by the appellants from China PR was of a different grade/type from the DBM produced in India and the imported DBM was neither substituted by the DBM produced in India nor was in commercial competition with domestically produced DBM. Therefore the tribunal accepted the submission of the appellants that the DBM containing less than 4% silica content caused no material injury to the

108 MANU/CE/0391/2003109 MANU/CE/0175/2000


51

Indian DBM manufacturing industry and there could be no causal link between the import of that grade of DBM from China and the injury if any, experienced by the Indian DBM industry. However, difference in production process does not differentiate the products for the purposes of assessment of injury. In the case of Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association v. DA110 it was held by the tribunal that exporter was dumping the products in India and the submissions that imported goods were manufactured through different process and that the imported goods differed in quality also did not invalidate the findings.

Injury however, has to be established for domestic industry as a whole. In the case of Reliance Industries Ltd. v. Designated Authority &Others111 in the calculation of non-injurious price, designated authority calculated the actual cost incurred by the appellant in transfer of electricity from its captive power plant to its manufacturing unit. Appellant contended that transfer of electricity should have been computed at market rate. Computation of actual cost resulted in reducing the losses to the domestic industry and hence non levy of duty against Japan and Malaysia because landed value of imports from these countries came to be above the non-injurious price. The Supreme Court held that non-injurious price should be calculated on the basis of domestic industry as a whole and method adopted by designated authority would be prejudicial to small enterprises which were not vertically integrated.

The case of Essar Steel Ltd. vs. Union of India112 is interesting as it brings about interface between competition and antidumping measures. In this case non-injurious price was found to be higher than the CIF price of imported goods. Hence antidumping measures were not taken. Domestic industry contended that it was because the investigating authority had included imports under advance license within the group of dumped imports. Domestic industry could not give data to segregate dumped imports from imports under advance license and the court found that there was a cartel of steel producers in the country who had kept prices high in the domestic market and were exporting to other countries at lower price. Delhi High Court did not find any fault with

the findings of the designated authority in not taking antidumping measure on the ground of absence of injury.

Antidumping Measures: Investigations on antidumping measures in India are carried on by the Designated Authority of Antidumping which works under the ministry of commerce.113 If there is positive finding of dumping and injury then the designated authority may recommend antidumping measures and the central government may after such recommendation take antidumping measures. However, recommendations of the designated authority do not create any liability on the part of importers to pay antidumping duty or any right for the complainant to enforce antidumping measures.114 The notification imposing a duty has to be given effect from the date from which the general public is made aware of it.115As per section 15 (1) (b) of the Customs Act the applicable rate of duty in case of warehoused goods is the actual date when the goods are removed from the warehouse. Therefore if no antidumping duty was imposed at the time of importation but by the time the goods were removed from warehouse, notification imposing antidumping duty was published then antidumping duty would be charged on those goods (Alaska Exports v. Commissioner of Customs).116 Although antidumping duties are usually prospective in nature, in certain circumstances, they can be imposed retrospectively also from the date of imposition of provisional measures and 90 day before it. If provisional measures have been taken for six months and final antidumping duty is imposed some time after the

expiry of provisional duty, the gap between the two duties would also be covered by the final antidumping duty if it is imposed retrospectively. It is immaterial that there was no antidumping duty in place at that time.117

If provisional duty is withdrawn in accordance with the provisions of sub-rule (4) of Rule 18118, because final finding is negative, the provisional duty already imposed and collected, if any shall be refunded to the importer.119 In the case of Kajaria Ceramics Ltd. vs. Designated Authority120 the issue was whether change of variable duty which was imposed as provisional measure to fixed duty which was imposed as final measure was justified. The tribunal found that the product under consideration was vetrified/porcelain tiles of different varieties and grades. Fixation of different antidumping duty would have been difficult. The product were known in the market with reference to the area covered by them i.e. per sq m. variable antidumping duty based on referral price was imposed after the preliminary investigation. On completion of the investigation it was found that the price variation per sq.m. in the articles dumped depended upon the difference in size and grades. A single referral price for different size/grades vetrified/porcelain tiles would result in non-attraction of antidumping duty to the articles which were imported above the referral price, even if dumped, and antidumping duty would get attracted on the articles which were not dumped, but, imported at a lower price than the referral price. Tribunal reasoned that where per unit price of the article varies depending upon the size/types/patterns, it would be more reasonable to apply the antidumping duty on fixed basis.

Antidumping measures whether in the form of antidumping duty or price undertaking cannot be more than dumping margin. In the case

of Pig Iron Manufacturers Association v. DA121 minimum antidumping duty was recommended and it was contended that it was contrary to section 9A of the CTA because antidumping duty cannot exceed margin of dumping. Tribunal accepted this contention on the ground that provision for minimum antidumping duty would bring about a situation where antidumping duty might exceed margin of dumping. The domestic industry in this case had contended against the final findings on the ground that rate of duty remains same for all exporters even though dumping margin is different. The tribunal accepted the contention stating that antidumping duty should be exporter specific and antidumping duty should be increased to level of dumping margin in cases of those exporters whose dumping margin was higher and the exporters who did not cooperate in the investigation proceeding had to bear the highest rate. The tribunal also accepted the submission of the domestic industry that the antidumping duty should be fixed in dollar terms because the rupee rate kept changing. In the case of Cyanides and Chemicals Ltd. v. Designated Authority122 also the appellants wanted the imposition of duty in US dollar rather than in rupee so that depreciation in rupee may not affect the protection to the domestic industry. The investigating authority had not conceded to their request. However the CEGAT accepted their plea.

In India in addition to dumping margin, injury margin is also calculated. Injury margin refers to the difference between non-injurious price and the landed value of imports. Non-injurious price is the sale price of the domestic industry which would give it a reasonable return on investment and if the domestic industry is able to sell its product at that price it would have no injury. Landed value of imports includes all the expenses incurred during the course of importation up to the port including the non-creditable duties of custom. In the case of Puneet Resins v. Designated Authority123 the tribunal held that where the imported goods are exempt from customs duty under any notification such duty is not liable to be added to the assessable value of the goods for the purpose of arriving at its landed value. Only those duties which are actually collected

121 MANU/CE/0014/2000122 MANU/CE/0431/2000123 2004(170)ELT 274


55

are to be included in the computation of landed value.124The method of calculating non-injurious price becomes important. For example in Reliance Industries Ltd. v. Designated Authority &Others125 the court held that for apportionment of fixed costs, designated authority should consider the actual production achieved by the domestic industry instead of computing on the basis of the best capacity utilization achieved in the preceding three years. Court noted that there was no established practice of the designated authority in this regard and level of capacity utilization taken into account by the designated authority varied from case of case leading to arbitrariness and unguided use of power. Court noted that the capacity of particular plant was wholly dependent upon the product mix. The capacity itself would be indeterminate for plants where the product mix itself was variable. Therefore the court opined that actual production would be the most appropriate method for arriving at the cost of production. In the case of Puneet Resins v. Designated Authority126 the tribunal held that where the imported goods are exempt from customs duty under any notification such duty is not liable to be added to the assessable value of the goods for the purpose of arriving at its landed value. Only those duties which are actually collected are to be included in the computation of landed value.127

In the case of DA (ADD Directorate), Min of Commerce vs. Haldar Topsoe A/S128 the issue was whether there can be two antidumping duties with regard to same product. Catalysts if imported on a project import basis were cleared u/ch 98 of the Act at “nil” rate of duty, if imported for other purpose they were cleared u/ch 38 at the prevailing rate of duty. Therefore two different rates of antidumping duties were imposed. Tribunal had held that imposition of two different injury margins for same catalysts was wrong. However, the Supreme Court held that tribunal had not given any reason why different rates of duties could not be imposed if the landed value of the imports differed and there was difference in injury margin of the two products. Court also noted that

56

the investigating authority while determining the margin of dumping came to a definite conclusion that the argument of the exporter that its export price had been more or less the same irrespective of tariff head under which the catalyst was imported, was incorrect and the Authority had found different dumping margins based on clearances under the two different tariff heads.

Domestic industry sometimes protests against lower duty imposed against an importer or exclusion of an exporter(products of that exporter) from the liability of antidumping duty. In the case of Universal Chemicals and Indus Ltd. v. DA129 the appellant protested against lesser duty imposed against one of the producers from China namely M/s Yunnan Province Jainshui County Chemical Industry Factory. All the exporters from China were considered as non-cooperative exporters except the M/s Yunnan who responded in the final findings. Therefore the DA calculated normal value for other exporters on the basis of constructed normal value and the normal value and export price for the one exporter on the basis of information furnished by it and on the basis of verification report. However the CEGAT held that the DA should have rejected the information provided by the M/s Yunnan because proper declaration of cost and other information was lacking. The verification process had to be contented with the profit and loss account, that too with annexures. The verification carried out was insufficient and unreliable. A verification of company accounts would be meaningful only if fully audited and certified books of accounts were presented in a language understood by the verification team. It was clear from the verification report that this had not taken place. Therefore CEGAT held that findings with regard to M/s/ Yunnan were unreliable and antidumping duty imposed on M/s Yunnan had to be at the same rate as on other exporters. In the case of Kothari Sugars and Chemicals Ltd. vs. DA130 antidumping duties were imposed on imports of Poly Iso Butylene from certain sources. However, imports from EU and Thailand were excluded from the purview of antidumping duties. Imports from EU and Thailand were excluded because average landed value of exports during the period of investigation was more than the non-injurious price worked out for the domestic industry. Appellant contended that in view of sub rule (2) of Rule 18 it was clear that supplies below non-injurious prices alone were relevant

129 MANU/CE/0440/2002130 MANU/CE/0382/2005


57

for causal link analysis inasmuch as those prices alone “undercut” the sale prices of domestically produced goods and prevent price increase, which otherwise would have occurred to a significant degree. The DA having found that severe price under cutting was taking place on account of dumped imports, the focus of consideration in regard to causal link should have been as to what effect imports from the said countries below the non-injurious price was having on the domestic industry and not what effect average sale price was having on the domestic industry. The appellant contended that since duty was imposed on variable basis it had to be applicable to supplies from all dumping countries. Otherwise it would only cause diversion of dumped imports at very low price to the excluded country and would leave the antidumping duty ineffective in serving its purpose. The tribunal agreed with the appellants and held that considerable quantities were being supplied at “very low prices” from the EU, particularly from France which would pull down prices in the domestic market. The sales price depression varied much within the period of investigation itself. According to the tribunal excluding one country on the basis of injury finding on “average price” in such a volatile situation could not be a reliable assessment.

Procedure for Investigation: Antidumping rules provide for procedure for investigation which are exactly same as those provided in the antidumping agreement. Application for antidumping should be filed by the producers who can be said to be representing domestic industry that is they should satisfy the standing requirement.131 Those producers who are also importers have to be excluded from the category of domestic industry. However, it has to be seen whether particular company is an ‘importer’ in proper sense of the term, or just a casual importer. In the case of State of Gujarat Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd vs. The Additional Secretary and Designated Authority132, it was found that the petitioner was a monopoly producer and its Articles of Association defined its principal business as manufacture of subject goods. ‘Imports’ was not mentioned as part of the business. However, the petitioner used to import sometimes to fulfill the domestic demand as it was a monopoly producer. It was held

131 Rule 5 3(a) of the Antidumping Rules provide that no investigation shall be initiated if domestic producers expressly supporting the application account for less than twenty five percent of the total production of the like article by the domestic industry.

132 MANU/WB/1031/2012

58

by the division bench of the West Bengal High Court that petitioner was not excluded from the category of domestic industry because petitioner was only casual importer in case of need and import was not one of its business mentioned in the Articles of Association. In the case of Pig Iron Manufacturers Association v. DA133 the exporters contended that the petitioner did not have the standing to file petition on behalf of the domestic industry because it was opposed by M/s Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Ltd.(RINL) a major manufacturer of metcoke. Tribunal noted that RINL had earlier supported the petition and had opposed it later on being pressurized by the steel ministry. Tribunal noted that Rules 5 and 14 relate to initiation and termination of investigation and standing of the domestic industry was relevant only at the time of initiation of investigation. Rules for termination under Rule 14 are different and it does not mention that investigation should be terminated if producers supporting the investigation change their stand subsequent to initiation. Moreover, RINL produced metcoke for captive consumption therefore its product not being in competition with the imported product it had to excluded from the computation of standing of domestic industry. EU followed the same rule.

Investigating authority should examine the adequacy and accuracy of the information submitted before accepting the application and starting an investigation. All the interested parties have to be notified and given hearing. The Supreme Court of India in the case of Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association vs. The Designated Authority and Ors.134 has held that the designated authority acts in quasi judicial capacity and right to hearing of the parties is part of natural justice principle unless specifically excluded by the legislature. Since the Antidumping Rules have not excluded it and have instead provided for hearing of the parties therefore parties should be given proper hearing before deciding a case. In this case, the hearing was given by the predecessor of the designated authority who gave the final finding. The Court said this violates the rule of natural justice as hearing should be given by the authority who takes the decision.135 However, hearing need not be given at every stage of

the proceeding. In the case of DA (ADD Directorate), Min of Commerce vs. Haldar Topsoe A/S136 the issue was whether it was necessary to have a hearing of the parties before extending the time prescribed for completion of investigation? The Supreme Court held that under the provision empowering the extension of time by the Central Government137, there is no requirement that the parties concerned to the investigation should be heard before extending the time. This is an administrative decision based on exigencies of the case. The court observed that respondent had not established any prejudice suffered by it due to extension and even though it was aware of the extension had not objected during the proceedings before the investigating authority. Similarly in the case of J.G. Impex v. Designated Authority138 Delhi High Court held that it is not violation of natural justice to decline to extend time to file response under Rule 16. Under rule 16 the antidumping authority before giving final findings is under obligation to inform all the interested parties about essential facts under consideration which form the basis of its decision. According to the court the proceedings are public proceedings and the information is not in the nature of show cause notice. Therefore in order to complete the investigation within the stipulated time the authority can legitimately decline to extend time at this stage. However, in certain cases the CESTAT has also allowed post decisional hearing and remanded the matter back to the designated authority.139 Similarly in the case of Mahavir Mirror Industries v. Designated Authority140 Madras High Court held there was no inherent right of being heard before imposition of preliminary antidumping duty as the provision did not give such a right and the function of the designated authority in deciding whether any duty is to be imposed or not and how much should be imposed is essentially legislative and administrative in character. Therefore there is no

136 (2000)6 SCC 626137 Rule 17 (1) provides that the ‘Designated Authority shall, within one year from

the date of initiation of an investigation, determine as to whether or not the article under investigation is being dumped in India and submit to the Central Government its final finding’ Rule 17(1)(iv) first proviso states that ‘Provided that the Central Government may in its discretion in special circumstances extend further the aforesaid period of one year by six months.

inherent right of being heard at this stage.141 Again in the case of ISMT Ltd. vs. Union of India142 Bombay High Court did not find violation of natural justice in the order of the designated authority to terminate the investigation because the petitioner domestic industry did not provide necessary information even after repeated notices.

There is provision for protection of confidential information. Non-confidential summary should be provided if there is request to treat any information confidential. Investigating authority should apply its mind and decide on the justification for request for confidentiality. In the case of Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. vs. Domestic Authority143 it was found that u/r 7 DA was treating all matters confidential merely on a party asking that it be treated confidential. Supreme Court held that u/r 7 DA has to be satisfied as to the confidentiality of the material. It has to ask the parties to furnish non-confidential summary and ask it to give reasons in case the party states that summary is not possible. Court observed that not making relevant material available to the other side affects the other side as they get handicapped in filing an effective appeal. Therefore confidentiality u/r 7 is something which must not be automatically assumed. However, in the case of Mahavir Mirror Industries v. The Designated Authority Madras High Court held that the appellant had not suffered any prejudice due to non-disclosure of confidential information as those information were not taken into consideration in preliminary findings.144

If the parties do not cooperate and do not submit required information then the investigating authority can proceed with the investigation and rely on available information on best available information basis. In the case of Dye Stuff Manufacturers Association of India and National Organic Chemical Inds. Ltd. v. Govt. of India (Ministry of Finance) and Ors145 the tribunal held that determination of normal value on the basis of report published in a trade journal Chemical Week was erroneous. Tribunal held that under the rules normal value can be determined on the basis of available facts on the best judgment

basis under Rule 6(8) read with the decision of the Supreme Court in Haldar Topsoe. But the facts should be authentic and relevant to the subject country/territory as well as to the period of investigation. In the instant case the source materials of the report were not disclosed nor the authenticity thereof established by the designated authority. The aniline prices shown on page 41 of the journal wherefrom the designated authority claimed to have obtained the best available information in terms of Rule 6(8) did not appear to be any trade data published for the week. They were part of an article on aniline which mainly gave an account of the global trends in aniline industry. Tribunal noted that the DA authority failed to realize that what was contained on page 41 of the journal was only an article on aniline industry and the same could not have provided judicially noticeable facts. The contents of the article were nothing more than statements in the press. Therefore the prices of aniline mentioned in the article in the journal do not belong to the realm of relevant facts for the purposes of Rule 6(8) of the AD Rules. In the case of Hindustan Lever Ltd. and NALCO vs. DA146 none of the exporters cooperated. Therefore the DA determined the normal value on the basis Chlor Alkali Magazine after due adjustments for the subject goods from subject countries. The tribunal did not find fault in the process.

Antidumping investigations should be terminated if volume of imports is de minimis. In the case of S&S Enterprises v. DA147 appellant had imported lead acid batteries from Bangladesh. Total volume of batteries imported was less than 3% of the total import of such batteries in India. Respondent continued investigation on the ground that value of imports made from Bangladesh was more than 6%. Tribunal also held that the word volume in the context of Rule 14 meant value. However, Supreme Court held that the DA and the tribunal had wrongly interpreted Rule 14(d). Referring to Article 5.8 of the AD Agreement the court held that the section 9-A of the CTA and the rules made therein are outcome of the GATT and WTO to which India is party. Court observed that the rules have distinguished between the volume as meaning quantity on the one hand and price on the other. Court approved the submission of the appellant that interpretation given by the investigating authority and the tribunal would lead to a situation that a small number of expensive imports would invite antidumping investigation but cheap

Sheela Rai

62

imports flooding the domestic markets would not. Antidumping rules have been framed to prevent such a situation only. Court also rejected respondent’s submission that preliminary finding was not conclusive. It held that it was against the language of Rule 14(d). Rule 14 came into operation when the investigation was yet to be completed finally. It was incumbent on the respondent to close the investigation u/r 14(d) once it came to the conclusion that volume of dumped imports was less than 3%.

Review and Revocation of Duties: In accordance with the antidumping agreement the rules provide that antidumping duty once imposed can be in force for five years unless necessity for continuance is determined in the sunset review. In between every five years there has to be mid—term review where it has to be assessed whether duty needs to be continued, varied or ended. In addition to it there can be review application filed by any interested party showing the need for review. In the case of Rishiroop Polymers(P) Ltd. v. DA148 the Supreme Court held that scope of the review enquiry by the designated authority is limited to the satisfaction as to whether there is justification for continued imposition of such duty on the information received by it. By its very nature the review inquiry would be limited to see as to whether the conditions which existed at the time of imposition of antidumping duty have altered to such an extent that there is no longer justification for continued imposition of the duty. The inquiry is limited to change in various parameters like normal value, export price, dumping margin, fixation of non-injurious price and injury to the domestic industry. Once antidumping duty had been imposed, it would ordinarily continue for five years unless on a review it is found by the designated authority that there has been such a significant change in the facts and circumstances, that it is considered necessary either to withdraw or modify appropriately the antidumping duty which has been imposed.

Appellate tribunal has sometimes intervened when duty had been revoked in the review proceedings. In the case of Forum of Acrylic Fibre Ltd. v. DA/Ministry of Finance and Ors.149 on the basis of cumulative assessment of injury the DA in the review had revoked antidumping duties on imports from UK, Germany and Bulgaria. However, the

148 (2006)4 SCC 303149 MANU/CE/0013/2006


63

CESTAT found that while there was negative margin of dumping (minus 6.9%) in case of imports from UK it was positive in case of Germany (15.6%) and Bulgaria(24.77%). However, there was no price undercutting in case of imports from Germany while there was significant price undercutting 5-15% in case of imports from Bulgaria. The tribunal held that in a mid-term review, material injury and its threat are not to be seen only for the period of investigation in isolation, but the trend over the injury period of three year prior to the POI is also to be examined to assess the possibility of continuance and recurrence of injury or threat of injury, if duty was removed. Tribunal noted that in the period of investigation from 1.4.2003 to 31.3.2004 the dumped imports from Bulgaria were 300MT and despite the antidumping duty the volume had increased during the injury period from 540 MT in 2000-01 to 873 MT in 2001-02 to 2060 MT in 2002-03, though during the period of investigation this fell to 300 MT which was soon followed by the move of mid-term review at the instance of the exporters. Therefore there was possibility of increase on withdrawal of duty. Tribunal held that even on the ground of threat of material injury by dumped imports from Bulgaira, revocation of antidumping duty was not justified on imports from Bulgaria. In the case of Vinati Organics Ltd. v. Designated Authority150 the antidumping duty was revoked in the sunset review. The tribunal found that the designated authority had nowhere examined whether cessation of duty would bring about recurrence of dumping and consequent injury to the domestic industry. In the case of Forum of Acrylic Fibre Ltd. vs. DA/Ministry of Finance,151 mid-term review was initiated on imposition of antidumping duties on imports from Bulgaria, UK., Germany, and Brazil. Non-injurious price was fixed at Rs. 80.033 per Kg. after adding a reasonable profit margin to the cost of the production. Tribunal found that there was price undercutting by Bulgaria of Rs. 5,619/—but the DA on the basis of cumulative assessment of injury held there was no price undercutting even by Bulgaria. The DA worked out negative price undercutting of minus 15-25% for Germany and minus 40-50% for the U.K. and produced a negative cumulative price undercutting for all the countries under investigation including Bulgaria. Tribunal held that there was negative margin of dumping from the UK. Therefore the effect of imports from the UK could not have

been cumulatively assessed because the first mandatory requirement that margin of dumping from each country should be 2% was not satisfied. Therefore the price effect of imports from Germany and Bulgaria were to be separately assessed. There was no price undercutting by imports from Germany while from Bulgaria it was significant. Therefore tribunal observed that there was no warrant to hold that the dumped imports from Bulgaria were not injurious.

In the case of Saudi Basic Industries and Ors. vs. Designated Authority152 the domestic industry appealed that the DA should not have initiated the mid-term review. However, the tribunal held that Rule 23 provides for review of the need for continued imposition of antidumping measures. Such review can be initiated by the DA on the basis of information received by it which questions the justification of continuation of antidumping measures. It is during the investigation, after it is initiated, that disputes may arise as to the nature and efficacy of such information. However, the initiation would not be vitiated, if the designated authority has acted on the basis of information received by it by being satisfied that a review was called for with a view to ascertain whether there was need for the continued imposition of antidumping duty. The designated authority had received such information in this case was clear from the record. It was argued on behalf of exporters SABIC that having found that the dumping margin was only 1.87% no antidumping duty could have been continued on the said exporter. Tribunal noted that under Rule 23(3) provisions of Rule 14 have not been applicable in the case of review while specifying the other rules which are applicable mutatis mutandis in case of review. De minimis rule applies only at the initiation stage whereby it has been provided that investigation should be terminated if margin of dumping is less than 2% of the export price. In mid-term review there would be no question of terminating an investigation. Tribunal further held that marginal decrease below the de minimis line would not warrant discontinuance of antidumping duty regime. The imports from Saudi Arabia were large and the authority cumulatively assessed the injury holding that the margin of dumping in respect of the each subject country was more than 2% and the volume of imports from these countries was 24.55% of the total imports. In this case the designated authority had given retrospective effect to the antidumping duty imposed by it from the date of imposition

of provisional duty. The tribunal held that antidumping duty cannot be imposed with retrospective effect in the mid-term review proceedings. Normally antidumping duty recommended under mid-term review has a prospective effect.

On the other hand in the case of Korea Kumho Petrochemical Co. Ltd. vs. Designated Authority153 complaint was made by the exporter against continuation of duty. In this case in the review proceedings antidumping duty was continued at reduced rate. Appellants contended that continuation was based on erroneous finding of dumping and consequent injury. They claimed that they had furnished information to the questionnaire with additional clarifications sought by the designated authority. Still the designated authority declared them non-cooperative and determined normal value on the basis of facts available. Reasons which were recorded by the designated authority for rejecting the information were that exporter furnished data for financial year 1999, while the period of investigation was April, 1999 to March 2000. Later on when data was furnished for the required period it was found that the original data showed a lower raw material cost. It was also stated that the allocation of sales and general administrative expenses (SGA), among various products by the appellant was improper inasmuch as the allocation is made on volume basis and not on turn-over basis. Designated authority found that a volume based allocation of costs had given an entirely skewed picture of costing inasmuch as products like steam have a higher weightage in allocating of SGA than more valuable inputs. Therefore the designated authority selectively utilized the data furnished by the appellant. The designated authority pleaded that inference of noncooperation was inevitable in the face of inadequate, contradictory and irrelevant and tangential data filed by them. Apart from the data being filed for wrong periods, the designated authority submitted that raw material consumption data, price of raw materials, NBR production were all different from one communication to another. The data submitted by the designated authority also showed the SGA allocation made by the appellant (on volume basis) yielded skewed results. Comparison of data filed by the data of another Korean manufacturer had shown such vast variations that the appellant’s data could not be accepted. The tribunal observed that it was clear that the data was being made available in stages and that the data had gaps,

153 MANU/CE/0152/2003

Sheela Rai

66

discrepancies and contradictions. The big difference in raw material cost itself made it clear. Allocation of SGA and interest on the basis of volumes of various products made the whole cost of production computation skewed particularly when steam constituted 77% of total production by volume. The designated authority observed that these problems and difficulties were difficult to cope with in an investigation involving two countries. Therefore the designated authority resorted to relying partly on the data furnished by the appellants and partly on the data from other sources for determining normal value, thus, treating M/s. Kumho as a non-cooperative exporter which could not be faulted in the peculiar circumstances of the case and the normal value arrived by the designated authority was not required to be disturbed in the absence of a reliable alternative basis. With regard to causal link analysis in this case the tribunal observed that even though annexure 2 did not stipulate a separate injury analysis standard for a review investigation, it was equally well settled that the criteria mentioned in Annexure 2 was not a check list. Therefore what is expected in injury analysis is not a mere faithful mention of the criteria and an appropriate notation against each of them, but a sound appreciation of the situation based in relevant criteria. Tribunal noted that the designated authority had found that in this case price undercutting could undo the beneficial effects of improved capacity utilization. Less than adequate unit price realization caused profitless production which in turn affected capacity to raise and service capital. During the period of investigation chosen for the review, antidumping duty was in force in respect of the exports by the appellant. Despite this the volume of imports rose and unit value of imports declined steeply. Even though much improvement took place subsequent to the imposition of duty in the domestic industry’s situation with regard to price and capacity utilization, the designated authority had pointed out that the sale prices were below optimum and that in the event of withdrawal of antidumping duty, injury would recur. The tribunal held that conclusion of the DA seemed well justified by the factual data presented in the final findings.

In the case of Jindal Stainless Steel Ltd. v. DA154 after the mid-term review the designated authority discontinued antidumping duties on imports from EU and Canada because the normal value of imports from those countries were above the non-injurious price while antidumping

154 MANU/CE/0578/2006


67

duties on imports from USA and Japan were continued. The domestic industry contended the findings on the ground that findings in relation to normal value, material injury as well as causal link were in favour of domestic industry yet duty was withdrawn. It was argued that under section 9A(5) and Rule 23 the designated authority had to analyse whether dumping and injury were likely to recur even though dumping might have ceased for the time being. A distinction was sought to be made between fresh imposition of duty under Rule 18 and the criteria laid down under section 9A(5) and Rule 23. However, the Tribunal found that imports from EU and Canada were above the non-injurious price. The designated authority had analysed position of the domestic industry and had found improvement on various indicators like, inventory, market share, cash flow etc. There was no underselling by imports from EU and Canada and the domestic industry was on its path to recovery. Therefore, the DA had reached the conclusion on the basis of reason and was fully justified in discontinuing duty on imports from EU and Canada because the material on record did not establish causal link between imports from EU and Canada and material injury to the domestic industry because the imports were above the non-injurious price.

A peculiar situation arose in the case of Kalyani Steel Ltd. vs. DA/Ministry of Finance and Ors155 wherein antidumping duties were withdrawn after the mid-term review. Tribunal noted that power of mid-term review under Rule 23 flows from the provisions of the parent statute section 9A(5) of the CTA as denoted by the expression “unless revoked earlier”. Therefore it is an investigation in the direction of withdrawal by checking up whether the basis on which the duty was imposed no longer existed and there was no injury or its threat existing or their level was so very reduced as to justify partial withdrawal of the duty imposed. Tribunal noted that while reviewing for an earlier revocation, it is required to be borne in mind that marginally improved performance of the domestic industry should be attributed to the beneficial effect of duty imposed and ought not to be made a ground for revocation unless the dumping margin does not exist, and if it does, there no longer exists any injury or threat of material injury to the domestic industry even if the duty is withdrawn. The tribunal further noted that volume of dumped imports during the period of investigation was considerable both in absolute terms as well as in relative terms. Margin of dumping

155 MANU/CE/0676/2006

Sheela Rai

68

with regard to import from Russia was 36.56%. There were no exports from China PR during the POI therefore the original dumping margin determined during the original investigations of 105% was not changed and kept under consideration for the purpose of review. With regard to the state of injury to the domestic industry the tribunal observed that decisive injury demonstration by adverse effect of dumped imports on price would not be brushed aside by counting some marginal improvements of economic factors and indices on the state of domestic industry due to imposition of the antidumping duty. Tribunal further observed that the undercutting by lower landed price of dumped imports would also have the potential of depressing the domestic sale price. What may not be significant price undercutting or significant degree of effect to depress prices or prevent their due increase when there was no duty imposed, may be considered significant when observed in a midterm review for revocation of duty, because of the distinct possibility of material injury being caused to the domestic industry on the removal of the antidumping duty. Such removal could have the tendency of decrease in prices further to the extent of quantum of duty removed which would have simultaneous cut in the profits. Therefore, the price undercutting determined by the designated authority could not have been brushed aside as insufficient on the ground that it was slightly less than 2%. The rule of de minimis i.e. below 2% was not applied under the rules to such price undercutting and its application would be erroneous in a mid-term review. In a mid-term review when such trend is evident, it should ring as an alarm bell against revocation of the antidumping duty because the threat of injury would be writ large and the removal of the protective umbrella of the existing antidumping duty would translate the threat of material injury into a stark reality. Emphasizing the importance of profit margin in the assessment of the health of the domestic industry, the tribunal noted that the landed value of the imports was Rs. 18,883 while the non-injurious price was 20,161/—This would put downward pressure on the prices of like domestic product and injury would intensify in case of withdrawal of antidumping duties. Tribunal noted that in face of this positive indicator the designated authority counted only the minor indicators of improvement of the condition of the domestic industry which could never outweigh the significance of the continued dumped imports at non-injurious price during the POI even while the antidumping duty existed. In the mid-term review there was sufficient indication of likelihood of material injury in the event of withdrawal of


69

antidumping duty and hence there was no justification for revocation of duty even though there were minor improvements in the state of the domestic industry.

The tribunal in this case set aside the impugned notification but declined to extend the duty beyond five years. Matter went to Delhi High Court156 and the court had to decide on the facts of the case which has resulted in some ambiguity and may be called wrong interpretation of the law. However, seen in light of the case, there is nothing wrong with the decision. Domestic industry appealed against the decision of tribunal for not extending the duty beyond five years. Once the impugned notification was set aside then the only course available to revoke the duty was to have sunset review and get the duty revoked. Delhi High Court gave the same decision that the designated authority should have conducted a sunset review and revoked the duty as the facts were available with it to conduct such a review. However, after reading the case it seems the court is deciding that antidumping duties cannot be revoked without a sunset review. This it is submitted would be wrong interpretation if so intended by the court. Antidumping measure can remain only so long as they are necessary. In the mid-term review as per the antidumping agreement and as per Indian law the investigating authority has to find out whether revocation of duty would lead to recurrence of injury. Antidumping measures have to be normally revoked after five years unless it is found after investigation that both dumping and injury are likely to continue or recur. It does not mean that for revocation of antidumping measures it is necessary to examine likelihood of continuance/recurrence of both dumping and injury. It only means that if duty is not revoked at the end of five years then heavier burden is laid on the government to prove continuance/recurrence of both dumping and injury. In mid-term review investigating authority has to only enquire that even if dumping has ceased whether revocation of duty would result in continuance/recurrence of injury. No investigation is required to discontinue a duty as it is the discretion of the government. It is not mandatory for the government to take antidumping measures. However government by the antidumping agreement and the Indian law is empowered to take antidumping measures if dumping is causing or threatening to cause material injury to the domestic industry.

Appeal and Review:

Appeal against imposition or non-imposition of antidumping measures can be made to Customs Excise Appellate Tribunal(CESTAT)157. Appeal against decisions of CESTAT can be filed to the High Court and from there to the Supreme Court. In addition, High Court also has writ jurisdiction under article 226 and 227 of the Indian Constitution. High Court’s power to issue writ is an extraordinary remedy and would not be available in cases which should be properly taken for appeal. This is because equally efficacious remedy is provided under the Customs Act for appeal against the decisions of the government in antidumping cases.158

It is still an undecided issue whether the government, when it takes the decision to impose an antidumping duty or not to impose, acts in its legislative or administrative capacity.159 The issue becomes important because in case the government decides not to levey duty even after the recommendation of the designated authority, the courts cannot direct the government to impose duty, because the courts cannot direct the government to legislate. However, if it is considered an administrative function of the government, the courts can intervene under Article 226. However, the courts usually exercise judicial restraint and do not intervene in the decision of the government if they find that government has exercised its power after giving full consideration to all aspects. In the case of Alembic Ltd. vs. Union of India160 Gujarat High Court did not interfere in the decision of the Ministry of Commerce of not levying antidumping duty on imports of Penicillin-G and 6-APA even though the designated authority had recommended its imposition. Court found that the government had arrived at the decision after taking into account the public interest. Court stated that only grounds for interfering in the decision of the government would be violation of statute or constitutional provision or there is arbitrariness in the Wednesbury sense.

Appeal can lie only against antidumping duty notified by the government of India and not against the final findings of the designated

authority.161 Recommendations of the designated authority cannot be challenged in higher tribunal. In the case of Indian Express Newspapers Ltd. vs. Union of India162 preliminary findings recommending imposition of provisional duties was challenged. The court held that the petition was premature as it is for the central government to accept recommendation of imposition of provisional duty or not. It was premature also for the reason that it was not advisable for the court to interfere at a stage when the investigation had not finally concluded. Non imposition of provisional duty due to court order may cause damage to the domestic industry and it is for the central government to take into consideration interests of all sections of society while deciding on the imposition of provisional duty.

Appeal can be filed only by an aggrieved party. In the case Ahimsa Mines and Minerals Ltd. v. Designated Authority,163 the appellant was a 100% EOU. The tribunal accepted the contention of the respondent that the appeal was not maintainable because the appellant even though might be an interested party was not an aggrieved party because antidumping duties are not levied on goods imported by 100% EOUs. Under section 129A of the Customs Act, 1962 appeal can be filed only by an aggrieved person. Similarly if the appellant is neither a producer nor importer and not an aggrieved person, it cannot file an appeal.164 In the case of Merck Ltd. v. Designated Authority165 the issue was whether importer can file appeal. The tribunal observed that on plain reading of section 9C of CTA it can be construed that any person who is affected by the final findings recommending the imposition of the antidumping duty would be eligible to file an appeal before the appellate authority, if he has participated before the authority during the investigation proceedings. In this case the appellant was an importer of the article who filed responses to the importer’s questionnaire and also represented before the authority during the investigation and was affected by the imposition of the antidumping duty. Hence the appellant had the right to seek redressal of his grievances against the final findings before the appellate forum. Distinguishing this

case from AIIGMA vs. DA166 the tribunal held that in AIIGMA tribunal was dealing with a situation wherein none of the manufacturers and exporter had co-operated and the authority had constructed the normal value and export price based on the facts and figures. On these factual findings, the tribunal restricted the importers from challenging the normal value and held that the findings based on the records maintained by the exporter could, at best, be assailed by the exporter only. In the present case the importer was a subsidiary of the cooperating exporter from the EU and to preclude importer from filing an appeal would be denial of justice.

Normal rules and principles relating to appeal apply. Any matter relating to facts of the case cannot be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court exercising its appellate jurisdiction. In the case of Rishiroop Polymers(P) Ltd. v. Designated Authority167 the appellant before the Supreme Court raised objection regarding assessment of injury by the designated authority in violation of para (iv) of Annexure II of the Rules because various parameters laid down in that provision were not considered. Respondents objected that the appellant could not be permitted to raise the same for the first time in the Supreme Court as the finding recorded by the designated authority on this score was essentially a finding of fact based on appreciation of material placed before it by the interested parties. The Court accepted that finding of the designated authority being essentially a finding of fact having not been questioned before the tribunal could not be permitted to be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court during the course of the argument. In the case of Merck Ltd. v. DA168 the CESTAT held that if during the investigation the exporter had not specified the difference of material imported in India from the domestic material, the issue cannot be raised by the importer at the appellate stage before the tribunal.

Similarly the tribunal should not alter a finding or notification of the designated authority and central government unless a relief is sought. In the case of Rishiroop Polymers(P) Ltd. v. Designated Authority169 appellants argued that the tribunal had converted the duty imposed in US dollar term from rupee value term without there being any appeal/prayer either

73

by the Union of India or any other interested party. The department conceded before the court that tribunal was not justified in converting duty from rupee to dollar. However, once the tribunal finds fault in the analysis of dumping or injury then it should complete the analysis and decide the case finally instead of leaving it in an undecided situation. In the case of Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. vs. Designated Authority170 the Supreme Court held that once CEGAT comes to the conclusion that there was dumping and that the domestic industry was injured, merely on the ground that designated authority did not properly assess the injury, CEGAT cannot set aside the order of the designated authority or the notification. In such cases it is the duty of CEGAT to rework the figures and decide what, if any, should be the antidumping duty.

Application of Customs Law in Antidumping Cases:

Provisions relating to antidumping measure are given in the Customs Tariff Act 1975 and rules made under it. Many of the provisions relating to collection of duty, taxable event, refund of duty, unjust enrichment, provisions relating to administration and appeal are given in the Customs Act 1962 which alongwith judicial decisions relating to them are relevant for the administration of antidumping measures. Therefore, some of the provisions contained in the Customs Act have been made applicable for administration of antidumping measures from time to time. Provisions contained in the Customs Act become applicable for antidumping measures only from the time mentioned in such provisions and only to the extent they are intended by the Parliament that they should be applicable. In Sneh Enterprise vs. Commissioner of Customs171 the Supreme Court held that provisions contained in the Customs Act would become applicable on antidumping measures only from the date sub section (8) of section 9A was enacted by the Parliament which made certain provisions relating to Customs Act applicable on antidumping measures. For imports made before that reliance has to be placed on common law in absence of statutory provisions. Similarly in the case of Woollen Mills Ltd. v. Commr. of Customs172 CESTAT noted that sub-section (8) of section 9A

170 MANU/SC/1105/2003171 (2006) 7 SCC 714.172 MANU/CE/0240/2004

Sheela Rai

74

of CTA inserted in May 2000 states that the provisions of the Customs Act 1962 and the rules and regulations made there under, relating to non-levy, short-levy, refunds and appeals shall, as far as may be, apply to the duty chargeable under this section as they apply in relation to duties leviable under that Act. Referring to the decision of the Delhi High Court in Pioneer Silk Mills case, it held that provisions of offences and penalty and all the sections can hardly be related to levy of and collection of duty of excise. Therefore the CESTAT held that provisions relating to confiscation and penalties contained in the Customs Act 1962 are not applicable in respect of antidumping duty. Again in Gagan Thaper v. Commr. Of Customs173 it was held that since provisions relating to offences and penalties were incorporated by reference under section 9A(8) of the CTA in the context of antidumping duty in 2004 only, and the import was made prior to 2004 therefore penalty for evasion of antidumping could not be imposed. In the case of Caparihans India Ltd. v. Collector of Customs174 final antidumping duties were imposed at a rate lesser than provisional antidumping duties. Application for refund of excess provisional duties were rejected on the ground that it was barred by limitation prescribed under section 27(1) of the Customs Act. Tribunal held that special provision has been made under section 9A of the Customs Tariff Act for imposition of antidumping duties. Under section 9A(2) higher provisional duties have to be refunded if the final duty fixation is at reduced rate. The specific provision in section 9A(2) cannot be varied and changed by provisions contained in section 27 of the Customs Act. A special provision contained in section 9A regarding levy, collection and refunds of antidumping duty depending on the change in the provisional and final imposition of duty do not fall within the purview of the provisions contained in section 27 of the Customs Act.

Once provisions relating to Customs Act have been incorporated they become effective from the date specified or from the date they were passed by the Parliament in absence of any specified date. In the case of Gemini Traders, Diamond Oil Agency, N.K. Oil Corporation and Victory Traders v. Commissioner of Customs175 appellants were held liable to pay differential duty on the basis of prevailing exchange rate as the rate of exchange is one in force as on the date on which the bill of entry is

173 MANU/CE/0348/2006.174 MANU/CE/4046/2001175 MANU/CC/0364/2006


75

presented under section 46 of Customs Act. In Multiline Electronics Pvt. Ltd. v. Commissioner of Customs176 refund was allowed because there was no unjust enrichment as the incidence of duty had not been passed on to the consumers.177

After a study of these cases we find that India has sufficient institutional structure for appeal and review to prevent unfairness. These appeals ensure that antidumping measures are not abused, as the findings of the designated authority are scrutinized in the appeals. We find that exporters are taking recourse to appellate provisions and are also getting relief in appropriate cases.

Analysis of Data: The methodologies chosen for the calculation of normal value can reflect on the role of the investigating authority and how far antidumping measures are being abused for protectionist purposes. Usually it is alleged that the third method, that is constructed normal value is usually resorted to by the authorities because it can be manipulated to always give a positive dumping margin. We see from the above cases that in about 55% of the cases Indian investigating authority has used constructed normal value method. In all other cases first method that is market price of home country has been used except in one or two cases where second method is used that is price in the appropriate third country. However, it has to be appreciated that in most of the above cases the exporters either did not respond or did not fully cooperate. Usually when exporters did not cooperate the investigating authority has used the third method (constructed normal value) and based the construction of normal value on the best information available. If prevailing international price of raw materials is available the investigating authority uses that information to construct the normal value. Sometime even when the exporters have not cooperated investigating authority has calculated the normal value by using the first method if price of the product under consideration in the home market has been available in any reputed journal or magazine. One also does not find much difference in dumping margin when different methods are used for calculation of dumping margin if enough evidence has been available.

Only difference which the dumping margin showed in cases decided before the Reliance Industry Case was that for non-cooperative exporters highest of the applicable dumping margin had been applied. That is highest of the possible normal value calculation and lowest of the possible export prices had been assigned to the non-cooperative exporters. This would happen only in those cases where from a subject country number of exporters have been involved and some of them have cooperated and some not. However, after Reliance Industry case, the investigating authority is applying its decision only in cases where constructed normal value is taken into account and hence in those cases one normal value is assessed for the country as a whole. Therefore in cases where constructed normal value is taken into account for all exporters from a subject country then only one normal value is determined irrespective of the cooperation extended by the exporters.

It has been usually found that usually exporters who are not dumping are forthcoming in cooperating with the investigating authority and in

Sheela Rai

122

some cases offering to give price undertaking if found to dump after the investigations. Although it seemed a possibility but one finds that extent of dumping margin has no relation with the geographical proximity of the exporters. It does not happen that exporters from nearby countries have a higher or lower dumping margin than exporters from far of countries. In conclusion one can say that although in about half of the cases constructed normal value has been used for determination of normal value, one does not find evidence of abuse of the methodology by the investigating authority to necessarily find a positive dumping margin. Choice of methodology also does not have any bearing on the extent of dumping margin. In most of the cases investigating authority has been left with no option but to resort to the third method because of non-cooperation of the exporters.

In some of the cases consumer groups who are usually user industries have come forward to defend the exporters pointing out the ill effect of antidumping measures on downstream industries. The investigating authority has however, given a standard answer to these contention stating that antidumping measures do not stop imports, they only make competition fair and we need competitors to have competition in the market which would eventually help the user industries and the end users. How far this argument is tenable would be revealed by the other data given below. After examining the sunset review cases one finds that in many cases dumping has continued even after antidumping duty and in some cases it has increased. Non-cooperation of the exporters may be due to the attitude of exporters who do not care about the antidumping investigation process because they know that dumping has to continue to sell off surplus production due to significant surplus capacity of the producers. Although downstream industries have usually defended the petition, it has in some cases been found that the dumped products have been of inferior quality. Therefore while antidumping measures might hurt downstream industries to some extent, it does not necessarily hurt the end consumer.

Analysis of Data: We find that in around 36% of the cases DI constitutes less than three producers that is either one or two producers. Among those cases where domestic industry is constituted by only one or two producers, in around 6-7% of cases domestic industry had 90% or more market share before dumping allegedly started. In other cases domestic industry had been sharing market with either subject countries or exporters of other countries. In about 40 to 45% cases dumped imports have caused considerable loss to imports (10% to 90%) from other countries that is share of dumped imports in total imports increased considerably. In around 10% of the cases dumped imports have almost ousted imports from other countries. In about 1-3% of 150 cases are those where share of dumped imports has increased in total imports but other countries have either retained or increased market share. Same way there are similar number of cases where share of dumped imports might have declined in total imports but their market share has increased. It is found that where other countries are formidable players, loss to Indian industry as a whole has been comparatively less. One reason might be that other countries face the first brunt of dumping. Similarly where there are large number of effective players that is subject countries, other countries Indian industry (together with domestic industry and other producers) then share of dumped imports have grown less drastically. At times other producers have gained market share where domestic industry has lost.

From the above it can be concluded that it would not be correct to state that antidumping measures are being exploited by monopoly companies in India. Dumped imports hurt market share of imports from other sources as much or more than they hurt market share of domestic industry taken as a whole(whether part of investigation or not). When players in the market are more, loss of market share to the Indian industry as a whole is lesser and dumped imports have also gained comparatively lesser advantage. This shows that designated authority is possibly right in its continuous assertion that we need competitors for competition in the market. Criticisms of antidumping measures vis-a-vis competition law that competition law protects competition and antidumping measures protect only competitors does not seem to be supported by the present data. Protecting competition process in the market, ignoring the fate of the competitors is perhaps too abstract a thinking.

Analysis of Data: We find that only in very few cases domestic industry has continued to earn profit and injury is only in terms of decline in profits. In about 66% of the cases domestic industry has suffered financial losses due to selling below the cost of production. In some cases the situation has remained somewhat stable because the domestic industry has been a multi-product company. Generally the price undercutting and price underselling has been more that 20%.

Whenever, domestic industry has been able to increase or sustain its market share it has generally been at significant costs to the financial health of the company. Therefore except for few cases the financial health of the domestic industry has been serious due to losses on sales or has been stagnant with significant decline in profit margin.

Analysis of Data: After examining the above data we find that capacity utilization declined in about 38% of the cases. There has been no increase in capacity in about 40% of the cases. In about 10% of the cases capacity utilization declined combined with increase in production capacity. Therefore in about 28% of the cases capacity utilization declined though there has been no increase in the capacity of production. Inventory increased in about 50% of the cases. Production declined in about 31% of the cases. Here in calculating the decline in production and capacity utilization stagnant position has not been taken into account nor those situations where no data has been given. In about 14% of the cases inventory increased despite decline in production or no increase in production. Demand declined in only 9 cases which comes to about 6% of the cases. In about 53% of the cases there has been positive increase in demand. In other cases demand remained static. In about 25% of the cases production declined even though there has been no decline in demand.

As stated above, in calculating the percentage, those cases have not been taken where data is not available. Capacity as a whole increased in about 60% of the cases and production increased or remained static in about 69% of the cases. In about 36 to 40% of cases therefore increase in production led to increase in inventory also.

The data given above does not in anyway reflect on the inefficiency of the domestic industry. Domestic industry has been trying to increase capacity in view of increase in demand and wherever possible making fresh investments. This however, led to increase in inventory. The data also does not show dominant industries abusing their power and misusing the antidumping proceedings to retain their market power. Data actually shows that dumping had reduced the domestic industry to stagnant position and it is not able to take advantage of the growth in market and expand its production capacity.

Analysis of Data: It is difficult to say from what angle employment and wages should be analysed. The scheme of the book and the theoretical discussion that has been undertaken in the first chapter would indicate that issue would be examined from the angle of effect of dumping on curtailing employment and wages of the employees. However, the investigating authority has not examined the issue always from this angle. With regard to adverse effect of dumping on employment and wages it can be seen that in most of the cases the domestic industry has stated that it is bound by the prevailing labour laws and cannot curtail employment and has to make periodic increase in wages. Only in cases where domestic industry has suffered very badly we see that there has been curtailment of employment and stagnation or slight decrease in wages. Overall we largely see stagnation in employment level with a declining trend. It can be assumed that decline would have been more in absence of labour regulations. There are very few cases where employment has increased these have been usually multi-product companies and companies who have increased their capacity. In some cases where companies had been multi-product companies, labour had been absorbed in other production segments. In sum generally the effect of dumping in cases that have been analysed has been negative on employment and wages though labour laws have helped much to curtail the crisis.

The investigating authority, however, has examined the issue of employment and wages also from another angle. That is whether total wages paid to employees are contributing to the deteriorating financial health of the industry. In all these cases it has answered in negative, obviously because either employment or wages have not risen, or have declined or there has been reason for their increase for example increase in capacity and production justified by increase in demand.

Remedial measures that have been used have mostly been in the form of antidumping duty. It is obvious because in most cases as we saw earlier the exporters did not respond and did not cooperate with the investigations. Hence since price undertaking have not been offered by the exporters there cannot be question of accepting or rejecting them. In cases where price undertaking has been offered, it has usually been accepted unless the investigating authority is able to show a reason for not accepting such as fluctuation in prices etc.

Positive finding of dumping in most of the cases has been accompanied by positive determination of material injury and causal link also. Only in about little less than 5% of cases material injury/causal link


323

has been absent even though there has been positive finding on dumping and injury.

In conclusion it can be stated that in sum the effect of dumping on employment and wages has been on the negative side though labour laws have helped to avert crisis and antidumping duty has mostly been applied as remedy because the exporters have largely not cooperated and offer of price undertaking have not been made. Reasons for not cooperating and offering price undertaking would become apparent from the next data on Sun Set Review as we find that dumping has continued even after the antidumping duty.

Analysis of Data: Generally impact of antidumping measures has been positive on imports from other countries. This negates the general argument that antidumping measures are anti-competitive and that it protects only producers rather than protecting the process of competition. In about 65% of the cases share of domestic industry declined. In two or three cases share of domestic industry has declined but that of other producers have increased. In two or three cases situation has been vice-versa that is share of domestic industry has increased but that of other producers have declined. In about 60% of the cases share of subject countries increased despite antidumping duties. Sometimes both the subject countries and other countries or domestic industry has benefitted where share of other countries attracting antidumping duties declined. Generally composition of Indian industry does not have any major effect on the market situation. Therefore the argument that antidumping measures are misused by monopoly companies does not stand the test because the situation of domestic industry has often not much improved in such cases as well. Antidumping measures do not have much deterrent effect especially if exporting countries are geographically close because in most cases dumping has continued. Often exporters are found to be with significant excess capacity or there has often been danger of goods being diverted to India in case of revocation of duty. In most of the cases antidumping measures have continued because dumping has not ceased and injury to the domestic industry continued. Since antidumping measures are taken in India only upto the injury margin, antidumping measures have continued at revised rates depending on the injury margin. It can therefore be concluded that antidumping measures do not adversely affect competition because imports from other countries generally increase with the weakening of the position of the subject country imports. Antidumping measures do not help in the protection of monopoly situation of the domestic industry as domestic industry does not seem to have been especially benefitted where it was a monopoly and often its decline continues. Moreover, dumping does not necessarily cease with antidumping measures and position of the domestic industry does not necessarily improve with the imposition of antidumping measures. Therefore antidumping measures only help in protecting the existence of domestic industry in unstable market situation. Antidumping measures are a means of market regulation and secondary tool for competition policy administrators through which situation of market capture can be avoided. In Data I we saw that imports from other countries decline


351

with increase in dumped imports. In such situation survival of domestic industry becomes crucial not only for the national economy but also to maintain continuous competitive situation in the market. Antidumping measure applied with moderation does not deter imports from subject countries.

An important aspect which has come to light through sunset review cases, is that, in many cases exporters have created excess surplus capacity for production. In this light we possibly need to remember the analysis of Marx that blind profit motive drives producers to produce more which has to be marketed. In the 18th and the 19th century, colonies provided such a market and their existing production capacity was ruined under colonization without development of new capacities. This no doubt killed the purchasing power of the developing countries who resorted to restrictive trade policy after independence. Analysis of wages and employment condition in Data V shows that in general effect of dumping on employment and wages has been negative though existing labour laws have helped much to contain the situation. Thus the effect which Marx predicted of over production on the labour and wages might come true if state does not exercise its regulatory authority to ensure that competitive equilibrium in market is maintained at every level.

353

CONCLUSION

India gained independence in 1947. GATT was signed in 1947 and India was one of its original signatories. However, the history, social economic obligations, development concerns and world economic scenario in general compelled India to follow a largely inward looking trade policy. Since imports were restricted, India did not need application of trade remedy measures. From 1980s when the country slowly started liberalizing it felt the need for alternative ways to protect her vulnerable domestic industry. In 1985 antidumping provisions were added for the first time in the customs Tariff Act. After 1995, in order to bring its measures in conformity to the existing antidumping agreement, antidumping rules were amended. After decision of the Dispute Settlement Body in India-Quantitative Restrictions Case178, India had to phase out the quantitative restrictions it had continued to apply under article XVIII(B) of the GATT 1994. Then onwards it had to rely on alternative means to have some type of regulatory control over the market and to protect the domestic industry. Now India has become one of the leading users of antidumping measures. Often it is coming under bitter criticism that antidumping measures in India are being misused to protect the monopoly position of its domestic industry. Analysis of Indian law and 150 cases has been done to see how liberal is the government in taking antidumping measures?

Analysis of cases shows that out of 150 cases, such cases where total number of producers have been one or two is less than 40%. Again there are hardly few cases where there seems to be dissension among the domestic producers about filing the antidumping petition. Often in multiple companies application is made by their association. When one or two companies are producers of major proportion of domestic production, application is filed by such companies only. Other companies

are either found to be importers or related to importers/exporter or else they do not get involved. However, there has not been any opposition which seems unlikely also given the fact that they would have the benefit of protection. It has sometimes happened that producers having smaller share in domestic production and market have stopped production due to dumping. Therefore opposition from producers having lesser market share is unlikely as they are the first to succumb to market pressure.

A cursory look at the cases shows that in most of the cases exporters have not cooperated. Either they have not responded or have not submitted complete data which had been asked for. One conclusion can be that exporters do not see any use of responding knowing that decision is going to be against them. However, it is difficult to come to this conclusion as in cases where the exporters have given proper response they have been found to be not dumping or dumping margin is very less. Moreover, if they are able to rebut the presumption of non-market economy status, normal value has been calculated for them by applying the first method. Even when exporters have not responded normal value sometimes has been ascertained by applying the first method if prices are published in any journal which can be relied upon. Dumping margin when ascertained by applying third method is sometimes higher than when the first method is applied. However, when constructed normal value has been applied with the cooperation of the exporters such as in case of company functioning under non-market economy conditions or absence of sales in domestic market then percentage of dumping margin is lesser. One of the reasons for higher dumping margin in case of non-cooperation by exporters is that designated authority as a policy applies highest of the possible normal value and lowest of the possible export price for such exporters.

Market share of Indian producers including that of domestic industry has been found to be more than 75% in 20 to 30 percent cases before commencement of dumping. Dumped imports have not only affected the share of domestic industry but also that of imports from other sources. In most of the cases with the increase in dumped imports share of imports from other sources have declined. In some cases it has declined markedly especially when China has commenced dumping. In cases involving dumped imports from China, Hong Kong and Chinese Taipei we find that imports from these sources have markedly taken the share of imports from other sources and in some cases exporters from other sources have stopped exporting to India.


355

This brings us to the fact of geographical proximity and inclination of dumping. We find that around 65% cases are those where dumping is from Asian source only. In other cases also where dumping is from European or American countries, often one or two Asian countries are involved. Therefore in all around 75% cases involve Asian Countries. Among the Asian countries found dumping in India maximum number of cases involve China PR, Chinese Taipei or Hong Kong.

There is very little evidence of decline in demand and injury to domestic industry on that account. Similarly, in very few cases, Indian producers have cut the employment level and wage structure. In cases of multi product companies, care has been taken to employ the available labour force for production of other products. Prevailing labour laws have been often cited as the reason for non-retrenchment and comparative stability in wages. Approach of the designated authority in analyzing the labour and wage issue has not been clear. It seems often the designated authority examines the issue of employment and wage either from the point of view of financial burden on the domestic industry or from the point of loss of working hands available with the domestic industry.

With regard to injury to domestic industry one finds that injury is usually on both aspects—volume effect and price effect. There has been reduction in market share as well as profits of the domestic industry. There have been very few cases where domestic industry has been able to increase its market share and counter the impact of dumping on that account by decrease in prices. In about 60% cases domestic industry suffered negative profitability due to sales below cost of production. In less than 5 percent cases there has been marked increase in capacity or new investments. Decline in capacity utilization and increase in stocks is general phenomenon in these cases.

An important fact which has emerged and which has been pointed out by writers earlier also is that dumped imports are not only affecting the domestic industry but also imports from other sources. Marked increase in dumped imports has in most cases compelled other exporters either to withdraw from the market or there is marked decline in imports from other sources. Mostly in sunset reviews it is found that if market share of dumped imports has declined then imports from other sources have increased. As such we need to examine and analyse more carefully the interaction between antidumping measures and competition policy and law in place of blindly condemning antidumping measures as anticompetitive. Possibly a more or less uniform response of Indian

Sheela Rai

356

antidumping authority that competition requires competitors in market is not baseless. Indian antidumping authority has adopted the approach that antidumping measures do not shut out imports but only provide consumers with more choice by ensuring survival of other competitors in the market. In cases where it has been felt that domestic industry had indulged in anticompetitive practices and formed a cartel and thereby keeping prices high, the designated authority as well as the court has refused relief to the domestic industry.179 This also shows the significance of dumping as a practice which often helps in breaking a cartel. This happened in the Vitamin Cartel case also where dumping from China helped to break the cartel. However, the same firms which were involved in cartel thereafter started dumping as is evident from series of antidumping cases on vitamins. Therefore dumping can also be used for anticompetitive practices.180

Impact of antidumping measures on downstream industries has to be examined more carefully. No doubt downstream industries like cheap imports but this may not always be in the interest of end consumers. In some cases it has been found that dumped products have been of inferior quality and domestic industry had to compete in price with better products. Therefore what may be in the interest of consumer industries may not always be in the interest of end consumers.

This brings us to the role of the state and importance of instruments like antidumping measures in a liberal trade regime. State has actually acquired the role of market regulator to ensure fair play and equitable distribution. Markets can be too opaque and undemocratic in their functioning to be left on their own. In the era of gloablisation and liberal trade regime markets have acquired a force and influence of its own which affects an individual in his everyday life in innumerable ways. Hence regulation and overseeing by the state of the market becomes necessary to ensure that as a social and political instrument it serves the society rather than making the society and state serve it.

measures like antidumping measures become an important tool in this task of the state.

Use and abuse of antidumping measures should not be studied as we study a crime chart only registering overall increase or decline. These measures should be periodically analysed thoroughly alongwith analysis of industry structure of the country. Such an analysis would help the competition authority to regulate competition in the market more effectively and usefully. Thus antidumping measures instead of being an antonym of competition would actually be an instrument in a liberal trade regime. It was with this idea that Friedman defends state planning,

There is, however, a deeper economic and sociological problem which Hayek ignores completely. Is the unpredictability of planned State action for defined and regulated social purposes, coupled with the obligation of adequate compensation, any greater than the uncertainty which faces the property owner under a system of free and unregulated economic competition? The last century has witnessed the swallowing of thousands of small enterprises by greater ones, and the increasing substitution, for genuine free private competition, of combines, market and production cartels, as well as the control of inventions and research by the dominating enterprise or group of enterprises in a particular field. 181

Of course we cannot plan an economy the way we plan a travel but we cannot leave economy to something indeterminate like spontaneous growth which amounts to leaving large chunk of population to their destiny. Spontaneous events also would have to be rationlised and internalized in a system in the same way any unexpected event is internalized in a family. To conclude on the lines of Adam Smith, national economy is like home economy. We do not produce everything at home so we have to buy from others what others can produce better or cheaper. But home economy is very closely planned according to the income of family members and a budget is prepared in every home. Our expenditure has to match our earnings and purchases have to be done prudentially to help the growth and development of members of the family. We save for the rainy day as well as take risks for further growth.

Experienced members of the family ensure that everyone’s basic needs are met and talents of everyone given full opportunity to develop. Too much protection of a family member may spoil him and make him useless at the same time indifference and ruthless behavior may make a family member rowdy and unwanted. Mechanism of regulatory role of the state and development of national economy in a democratic framework also works in similar fashion.

The analogy given above should not be misunderstood as advocacy of the old doctrine of paternal role of the state. The difference between the earlier role of the state and its current regulatory role is that it is more democratic and regulatory power is dispersed among various agencies. There is more transparency and accountability not only before the legal system of the country but also before international organization and the national and international academics alongwith other regulatory agencies in the country keeping regular watch over the working of one agency. In this way regulation is not from above but from within with the participation of the general public in the form of in importers, exporters, industry organisaitons, lawyers, government agencies, courts and tribunal academics, analysists and media keeping a regular watch. This can be called the current form of democratic planning and antidumping measures and its use is an instrument in that planning. This is what Karl Popper calls social engineering or Amartya Sen calls social choice between alternatives. This is a continuous process requiring involvement of everyone under the auspices of the state.

The historical background given in the first chapter shows that ruin of the Indian economy was not spontaneous but due to state actions. It is part of the international lassize faire economy that a weaker country gets exploited as supplier of raw materials and market for finished products. The development of independent Indian economy also could not be spontaneous as the government had to plan the use of its resources according to the prevailing national and international economic and political conditions. There were certain values which defined the identity of modern India and helped India to escape from bitter civil war. In the first forty years these values kept the government skeptical of large business houses. It probably stunted the growth of Indian manufacturing sector. After liberalization government realized that Indian manufacturing sector has not developed well enough to compete with indiscriminate foreign supply. Therefore there was need to strengthen the Indian manufacturing sector by liberalizing investment regime and other

similar measures. After 1990s Indian business houses rather than being adversaries are taken as partners in the development programme of the government. Government’s policy towards trade remedy measures has to be examined in this light and use and abuse of antidumping measures has to be judged in this background. Often what we call as monopoly only shows the fragile situation of the industrial development of the country because even after imposition of antidumping measures in many cases these industries have not recovered. In such cases often dumping has either continued as aggressively or dumping from other sources have started. Often we find that where there are more producers the domestic industry is in better position to give competition to dumped goods.

In the era of mass production of goods, driven by profit motive every producer is trying to produce as much as possible and they are creating huge surplus capacity. For the marketing of this production every practice will have to be resorted to capture a market. This takes us back in the history as to what led to the ruin of existing Indian industry at the advent of modern era in India. This also takes us to Marx who predicted this and its outcome on the wages and employment and finally the purchasing power of the consumers. At the time of independence this was the exact situation of Indian economy when there was not much market for consumer goods due to absence of purchasing power of the consumers. Impact of dumping on employment and wages in the 150 cases shows the same although labour laws have helped a lot to stabilize the situation.

To sum up we can say that antidumping measures used properly, help to reinforce the MFN principle in international trade as imports from other countries rise when antidumping measures are taken and dumped imports before injuring the domestic industry oust imports from other sources in the market. After examination of situation of the domestic industry in 200 cases one does not find general abuse of antidumping measures as the domestic industry had been suffering injury to the extent of closing down or was forced to sell below the cost of production. In the absence of antidumping measures the impact on economy and employment and wages would have been very serious. This would lead to general slowdown of the economy and crippled the government in fulfillment of its positive obligations as mandated by the Constitution of India.

It is well established by now that the removal of many physical controls over the functioning of the market, following the introduction of economic liberalization in India, has let to a resurgence of the private sector. However, the relationship between market and the state is not a zero sum game, and it can be empowering for both. Contrary to the fears or expectations of the critics, liberalization has not made for the erosion of the state, There has been no hollowing out of the state, and there has been no retrenchment of the state from either its economic role or its welfare role. Indeed, libersalisation has been ‘empowering’ for the state; it has strengthened state capacity as a result of the increased resources that the state has been able to gain access to because of the growth acceleration that has accompanied liberalization. It is noteworthy that, as economic growth accelerated sharply in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the state made a significant shift to giving priority to its welfare role.182

Trade remedy measures properly used are easy tool in the hands of regulators to check the growth of market distortions and prevent the functioning of the market from collapsing. Role of competition authority starts when market distortions have already taken a serious turn. Trade remedy measures like antidumping measures can be preventive steps against market distortions taking that serious turn. Of course there is chance that they can be abused for protection of cartels or monopolies. But they do not necessarily do so. These measures are thus tools in the new form of democratic planning where the national market is integrated with international market. The state within its constraints has to ensure that market functions in a manner whereby its various national and international obligations are met.

Explanation.—For the purposes of this section,—

(a) “margin of dumping”, in relation to an article, means the difference between its export price and its normal value;

(b) “export price”, in relation to an article, means the price of the article exported from the exporting country or territory and in cases where there is no export price or where the export price is unreliable because of association or a compensatory arrangement between the exporter and the importer or a third party, the export price may be constructed on the basis of the price at which the imported articles are first resold to an independent buyer or if the article is not resold to an independent buyer, or not resold in the condition as imported, on such reasonable basis

as may be determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6);

(c) “normal value”, in relation to an article, means—

(i) the comparable price, in the ordinary course of trade, for the like article when meant for consumption in the exporting country or territory as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6); or

(ii) when there are no sales of the like article in the ordinary course of trade in the domestic market of the exporting country or territory, or when because of the particular market situation or low volume of the sales in the domestic market of the exporting country or territory, such sales do not permit a proper comparison, the normal value shall be either—

(d) comparable representative price of the like article when exported from the exporting country or territory 2 to an appropriate third country as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6); or

(e) the cost of production of the said article in the country of origin along with reasonable addition for administrative, selling and general costs, and for profits, as determined in accordance with the rules made under sub-section (6):

Provided that in the case of import of the article from a country other than the country of origin and where the article has been merely transhipped through the country of export or such article is not produced in the country of export or there is no comparable price in the country of export, the normal value shall be determined with reference to its price in the country of origin.

(2) The Central Government may, pending the determination in accordance with the provisions of this section and the rules made thereunder of the normal value and the margin of dumping in relation to any article, impose on the importation of such article into India an anti-dumping duty on the basis of a provisional estimate of such value and margin and if such anti-dumping duty exceeds the margin as so determined:- the Central Government

(i) there is a history of dumping which caused injury or that the importer was, or should have been, aware that the exporter practices dumping and that such dumping would cause injury; and

(ii) the injury is caused by massive dumping of an article imported in a relatively short time which in the light of the timing and the volume of imported article dumped and other circumstances is likely to seriously under-mine the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty liable to be levied, the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, levy anti-dumping duty retrospectively from a date prior to the date of imposition of anti-dumping duty under sub-section (2) but not beyond ninety days from the date of notification under that sub-section, and notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, such duty shall be payable at such rate and from such date as may be specified in the notification.

17. Final findings.—

(1) The designated authority shall, within one year from the date of initiation of an investigation, determine as to whether or not the article under investigation is being dumped in India and submit to the Central Government its final finding—

(a) as to,—

(i) the export price, normal value and the margin of dumping of the said article;

(ii) whether import of the said article into India, in the case of imports from specified countries, causes or threatens material injury to any industry established in India or materially retards the establishment of any industry in India;

(iii) a casual link, where applicable, between the dumped imports and injury;

(iv) whether a retrospective levy is called for and if so, the reasons therefor and date of commencement of such retrospective levy:


381

Provided that the Central Government may, in its discretion in special circumstances extend further the aforesaid period of one year by six months:

Provided further that in those cases where the designated authority has suspended the investigation on the acceptance of a price undertaking as provided in rule 15 and subsequently resumes the same on violation of the terms of the said undertaking, the period for which investigation was kept under suspension shall not be taken into account while calculating the period of said one year, recommending the amount of duty which, if levied, would remove the injury where applicable, to the domestic industry.

(2) The final finding, if affirmative, shall contain all information on the matter of facts and law and reasons which have led to the conclusion and shall also contain information regarding—

(i) the names of the suppliers, or when this is impracticable, the supplying countries involved;

382

Provided further that the designated authority shall, determine an individual margin of dumping for any exporter or producer, though not selected initially, who submit necessary information in time, except where the number of exporters or producers are so large that individual examination would be unduly burdensome and prevent the timely completion of the investigation.

(4) The designated authority shall issue a public notice recording its final findings.

18. Levy of duty.—

(1) The Central Government may, within three months of the date of publication of final findings by the designated authority under rule 17, impose by notification in the Official Gazette, upon importation into India of the article covered by the final finding, anti-dumping duty not exceeding the margin of dumping as determined under rule 17.

383

information during the course of the investigation as referred to in the second proviso to sub-rule (3) of rule 17.

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (1), where a domestic industry has been interpreted according to the proviso to sub-clause (b) of rule 2, a duty shall be levied only after the exporters have been given opportunity to cease exporting at dumped prices to the area concerned or otherwise give an undertaking pursuant to rule 15 and such undertaking has not been promptly given and in such cases duty shall not be levied only on the articles of specific producers which supply the area in question.

(4) If the final finding of the designated authority is negative that is contrary to the evidence on whose basis the investigation was initiated, the Central Government shall, within forty-five days of the publication of final findings by the designated authority under rule 17, withdraw the provisional duty imposed, if any.

19. Imposition of duty on non-discriminatory basis.—

Annexure—I (See Rule 8)

Principles governing the determination of normal value, export price and margin of dumping

The designated authority while determining the normal value, export price and margin of dumping shall take into account inter alia, the following principles—

1. The elements of costs referred to in the context of determination of normal value shall normally be determined on the basis of records kept by the exporter or producer under investigation, provided such records are in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles of the exporting country, and such records reasonably reflect the cost associated with production and sale of the article under consideration.

2. Sales of the like product in the domestic market of the exporting country or sales to a third country at prices below per unit (fixed and variable) costs of production plus administrative, selling and general costs may be treated as not being in the ordinary course of trade by reason of price. The designated authority may disregard these sales, in determining normal value, provided it has determined that—

(i) such sales are made within a reasonable period of time (not less than six months) in substantial quantities, i.e. when the weighted average selling price of the article is below the weighted average per unit costs or when the volume of the sales below per unit costs represents not less than twenty per cent of the volume sold in transactions under consideration, and

(ii) such sales are at prices which do not provide for the recovery of all costs within a reasonable period of time. The said prices will be considered to provide for recovery of costs within a reasonable period of time if they are above weighted average per unit costs for the period of investigation, even though they might have been below per unit costs at the time of sale.


387

3. (i) The said authority in the course of investigation shall consider all available evidence on the proper allocation of costs, including that which is made available by the exporter or producer provided that such allocation has been historically utilized by the exporter or producer, in relation to establishing appropriate amortization and depreciation periods and allowances for capital expenditure and other development costs.

(ii) unless already reflected in allocation of costs referred to in clause (1) and sub-clause (i) above, the designated authority, will also make appropriate adjustments for those non-recurring items of cost which benefits further and/or current production, or for circumstances in which costs during the period of investigation are affected by start up operation.

4. The amounts for administrative, selling and general costs and for profits as referred to in sub-section (1) of section 9A of the Act, shall be based on actual data pertaining to production and sales in the ordinary course of trade, of the like article by the exporter or producer under investigation. When such amounts cannot be determined on this basis, the amounts may be determined on the basis of:

(i) the actual amounts incurred and realized by the exporter or producer in question, in respect of production and sales in the domestic market of the country of origin of the same general category of article;

(ii) the weighted average of the actual amounts incurred and realized by other exporters or producers subject to investigation in respect of production and sales of the like article in the domestic market of the country of origin; or

(iii) any other reasonable method, provided that the amount for profit so established shall not exceed the profit normally realized by the exporters or producers on sales of products of the same general category in the domestic market of the country of origin.

5. The designated authority, while arriving at a constructed export price, shall give due allowance for costs including duties and taxes, incurred between importation and resale and for profits.

Sheela Rai

388

6. (i) While arriving at margin of dumping, the designated authority shall make a fair comparison between the export price and the normal value. The comparison shall be made at the same level of trade, normally at the ex-factory level, and in respect of sales made at as nearly as possibly the same time. Due allowance shall be made in each case, on its merits, for differences which affect price comparability, including differences in conditions and in terms of sale, taxation, levels of trade, quantities, physical characteristics, and any other differences which are demonstrated to affect price comparability.

(ii) In the cases where export prices is a constructed one, the comparison shall be made only after establishing the normal value at equivalent level of trade.

(iii) When the comparison under this para requires a conversion of currencies, such conversion should be made by using the rate of exchange on the date of sale, provided that when a sale on foreign currency on forward markets is directly linked to the export sale involved the rate of exchange in the forward sale shall be used. Fluctuations in exchange rates shall be ignored and in an investigation the exporters shall be given at least sixty days to have adjusted their export prices to reflect the sustained movements in exchange rates during the period of investigation.

(iv) Subject to the provisions governing comparison in this paragraph, the existence of margin dumping during the investigation phase shall normally be established on the basis of comparison of a weighted average normal value and export prices on a transaction-to-transaction basis. A normal value established on a weighted average basis may be compared to the prices of the individual export transactions if it is found that the pattern of export prices which differs significantly among different purchasers, regions or time periods and if an explanation is provided as to why such differences cannot be taken into account appropriately by the use of weighted-average-to-weighted average or transaction-to-transaction comparison.

7. In case of imports from non-market economy countries, normal value shall be determined on the basis if the price or constructed value in the market economy third country, or the price from such a third country to other countries, including India or where


389

it is not possible, or on any other reasonable basis, including the price actually paid or payable in India for the like product, duly adjusted if necessary, to include a reasonable profit margin. An appropriate market economy third country shall be selected by the designated authority in a reasonable manner, keeping in view the level of development of the country concerned and the product in question, and due account shall be taken of any reliable information made available at the time of selection. Accounts shall be taken within time limits, where appropriate, of the investigation made in any similar matter in respect of any other market economy third country. The parties to the investigation shall be informed without any unreasonable delay the aforesaid selection of the market economy third country and shall be given a reasonable period of time to offer their comments.

8. (1) The term “non-market economy country” means any country which the designated authority determines as not operating on market principles of cost or pricing structures, so that sales of merchandise in such country do not reflect the fair value of the merchandise, in accordance with the criteria specified in sub-paragraph (3)

(2) There shall be a presumption that any country that has been determined to be, or has been treated as, a non-market economy country for purposes of an anti-dumping investigation by the designated authority or by the competent authority of any WTO member country during the three year period preceding the investigation is a non- market economy country.

Provided, however, that the non-market economy country or the concerned firms from such country may rebut such a presumption by providing information and evidence to the designated authority that establishes that such country is not a non-market economy country on the basis of the criteria specified in sub-paragraph (3).

(3) The designated authority shall consider in each case the following criteria as to whether:

(a) the decisions of the concerned firms in such country regarding prices, costs and inputs, including raw materials, cost of technology

Sheela Rai

390

and labour, output, sales and investment, are made in response to market signals reflecting supply and demand and without significant State interference in this regard, and whether costs of major inputs substantially reflect market values;

(b) the production costs and financial situation of such firms are subject to significant distortions carried over from the former non-market economy system, in particular in relation to depreciation of assets, other write-offs, barter trade and payment via compensation of debts;

(c) such firms are subject to bankruptcy and property laws which guarantee legal certainty and stability for the operation of the firms, and

(d) the exchange rate conversions are carried out at the market rate.

Provided, however, that where it is shown by sufficient evidence in writing on the basis of the criteria specified in this paragraph that market conditions prevail for one or more such firms subject to anti-dumping investigations, the designated authority may apply the principles set out in paragraphs 1 to 6 instead of the principles set out in paragraph 7 and in this paragraph”.

(4) Notwithstanding, anything contained in sub-paragraph (2), the designated authority may treat such country as market economy country which, on the basis of the latest detailed evaluation of relevant criteria, which includes the criteria specified in sub paragraph (3), has been, by publication of such evaluation in a public document, treated or determined to be treated as a market economy country for the purposes of anti dumping investigations, by a country which is a member of the World Trade Organization.”


391

Annexure—II See Rule 9(2)

Principles for determination of injury

The designated authority while determining the injury or threat of material injury to domestic industry or material retardation of the establishment of such an industry, hereinafter referred to as “injury” and casual link between dumped imports and such injury, shall inter alia, take following principles under consideration-

(i) A determination of injury shall involve an objective examination of both (a) the volume of the dumped imports and the affect of the dumped imports on prices in the domestic market for like article and (b) the consequent impact of these imports on domestic producers of such products.

(ii) While examining the volume of dumped imports, the said authority shall consider whether there has been a significant increase in the dumped imports, either in absolute terms or relative to production or consumption in India. With regard to the affect of the dumped imports on prices as referred to in sub-rule (2) of rule 18 the designated authority shall consider whether there has been a significant price under cutting by the dumped imports as compared with the price of like product in India, or whether the effect of such imports is otherwise to depress prices to a significant degree or prevent price increase which otherwise would have occurred, to a significant degree.

(iii) In cases where imports of a product from more than one country are being simultaneously subjected to anti-dumping investigation, the designated authority will cumulatively assess the effect of such imports, only when it determines that (a) the margin of dumping established in relation to the imports from each country is more than two per cent expressed as percentage of export price and the volume of the imports from each country is three per cent of the import of like article or where the export of individual countries less than three per cent, the imports collectively accounts for more than seven per cent of the import of like article and (b)

Sheela Rai

392

cumulative assessment of the effect of imports is appropriate in light of the conditions of competition between the imported article and the like domestic articles.

(iv) The examination of the impact of the dumped imports on the domestic industry concerned, shall include an evaluation of all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the industry, including natural and 1 0potential decline in sales, profits, output, market share, productivity, return on investments or utilization of capacity; factors affecting domestic prices; the magnitude of the margin of dumping; actual and potential negative effects on cash flow, inventories, employment, wages, growth, ability to raise capital investments.

(v) It must be demonstrated that the dumped imports are, through the effects of dumping, as set forth in paragraphs (ii) and (iv) above, causing injury to the domestic industry. The demonstration of a casual relationship between the dumped imports and the injury to the domestic industry shall be based on an examination of relevant evidence before the designated authority. The designated authority shall also examine any known factors other than the dumped imports which at the same time are injuring the domestic industry, and the injury caused by these other factors must not be attributed to the dumped imports. Factors which may be relevant in this respect include, inter alia, the volume and prices of imports not sold at dumping prices, contraction in demand or changes in the patterns of consumption, trade restrictive practices of and competition between the foreign and domestic producers, developments in technology and the export performance and the productivity of the domestic industry.

(vi) The effect of the dumped imports shall be assessed in relation to the domestic production of the like article when available data permit the separate identification of that production on the basis of such criteria as the production process, producers’ sales and profits. If such separate identification of that production is not possible, the effects of the dumped imports shall be assessed by the examination of the production of the narrowest group or range of products, which includes the like product, for which the necessary information can be provided.


393

(vii) A determination of a threat of material injury shall be based on facts and not merely on allegation, conjecture or remote possibility. The change in circumstances which would create a situation in which the dumping would cause injury must be clearly foreseen and imminent. In making a determination regarding the existence of a threat of material injury, the designated authority shall consider, inter alia, such factors as:

(a) a significant rate of increase of dumped imports into India indicating the likelihood of substantially increased importation;

(b) sufficient freely disposable, or an imminent, substantial increase in, capacity of the exporter indicating the likelihood of substantially increased dumped exports to Indian markets, taking into account the availability of other export markets to absorb any additional exports;

(c) whether imports are entering at prices that will have a significant depressing or suppressing effect on domestic prices, and would likely increase demand for further imports; and

(d) inventories of the article being investigated.
