KARACHI: Notices were issued to the officials of Pakistan Customs for Feb 27 in a petition challenging assessment of Indian “Tulley” fabric under guideline instead of valuation ruling.

Shaista Traders filed the petition through Franklin Law Associates on ground that custom authorities instead of assessing the imported item under section 25 are bent upon assessment and determination of custom duty and other taxes on the basis of guideline issued by the relevant officer which is an act beyond jurisdiction.

The bench after hearing the sides ordered issuance of notices to the respondents for Feb 27.
