Sections 2(e) and 4(2) |
The expression "Petroleum Operation" as found in section 4(2) and defined in section 2(e) of the said Act, 1974 has not stipulated for any kind of petroleum agreement with the Government or the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation as a pre-condition to importing such petroleum product. But such agreement is required to be in place at the time and in course of exploration, extraction of the Petroleum Product, its development, exploitation, production, refining, processing or marketing. In other words, once the Petroleum product is found inside the country on import at the instance of anyone except the Government or the Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation, Petroleum agreement is a condition precedent to dealing with such product. In the circumstances, the Customs as well as the National Board of Revenue acted without any lawful authority in passing the orders impugned in the writ petition refusing to discharge the consignment in question.
