Ltd in Meghalaya as a 100% export oriented unit exempted from paying import duty. The Court held that decision of the BOA to make Lafarge Ltd. liable to pay import duty for the long conveyor belt system that it proposes to setup in the Indian territory has been revised in contravention of the principles of natural justice without the petitioner being heard and that the petitioner had on the basis of principle of promissory estoppel made substantial investment for setting up of the conveyor facility .Therefore, the unilateral and arbitrary decision of the BOA withdrawing the exemption granted earlier from payment of import duty is quashed. <i>Union of India v.
