Una Subbarao vs State Of Orissa And Anr. on 31 October, 1984
16. Keeping in view the law laid down in the aforesaid pronouncements, we have to decide the issue at hand. It may be that milk powder is a genus of which skimmed milk powder is a specie as contended by learned counsel for the respondents. However, determination in such cases cannot be on this basis alone. It is well known that milk powders may be of different kinds and skimmed milk powder would be a distinct product. Therefore, it could be given different treatment by the framers of Import Control Policy. That is precisely done here also. As noted above, in Section-1 of the Import Control Policy for the relevant year 1977-78, item No. 47, Annexure-II to part-B of Vol.II of the Policy, describes the item "Milk Powder". On the other hand Section-3 of Vol-I of the Import Control Policy which contains the list of canalised items it is "skimmed milk powder" which is a canalised item. Thus framers of the Policy have made distinction between milk powder and skimmed milk powder. Further, as submitted by Mr. Rawal, Item No. 333 of Annexure-III of Import Policy for the year 1978-79, containing banned items, stipulates "milk powder (all types). This also visualies that there would be so many types of milk powders. When the policy makers have thought of various kinds of milk powders and skimmed milk powder is treated as one such kind which is given different treatment in the Import Policy, effect thereto has to be given.
