Before adverting to the impugned notification dated December 21, 1993, it is necessary to note that according to the petitioners they have been making arrangements for the import of the machines authorised under the licence as the same are not available in India. The petitioners claim that they have received the Importer-Exporter Code, which is a pre-requisite for import of the appropriate machines and they have also made arrangements for the finances for the import of the said machines. The petitioners have stated that there are six Five Star Hotels in the entire State of Goa and that they have been diligently and conscientiously attempting to enter into an agreement with these Five Star Hotels so as to be able to instal and operate the machines.
