RISHIROOP POLYMERS PVT. LTD. versus DESIGNATED AUTHORITY AND ADDITIONAL SECRETARY

RISHIROOP POLYMERS PVT. LTD. versus DESIGNATED AUTHORITY AND ADDITIONAL SECRETARY

In absence of any appeal or cross appeal, the Tribunal erred in converting anti-dumping duty from rupee terms to US dollars. Designated Authority had complied with all relevant parameters for injury determination, and no material was placed to warrant withdrawal or modification of the anti-dumping duty. Appeals challenging non-evaluation of Annexure II parameters were not raised earlier, thus cannot be permitted now. Duty continuation is valid.
