By filing this petition, the petitioner has prayed that the respondent may be permitted to change the buyer of the goods by amending the bill of lading of the transaction in question. In this behalf, the petitioner has already made a request to the Commissioner of Customs dated 11-9-2008. It is unfortunate that till today, the petitioner has not been informed as to what happened to the said request. The learned counsel for the respondents state that the petitioner is required to apply in a prescribed form. 2. In our view, the imported goods are lying since long and the petitioner has suffered loss as also the revenue is at loss by not deciding the said application. Considering this aspect of the matter, we permit the petitioner to apply in prescribed form with a request to change the buyer by amending the bill of lading. The petitioner may make an application in a prescribed form in appropriate manner as per law. If any application is made in this behalf, the respondent shall dispose of the same and shall take decision in accordance with law within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of such application. Such decision should be communicated to the petitioner. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the said order, it will be open to the petitioner to challenge the said order in accordance with law. 3. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. (J.P. Devadhar, J.) (P.B. Majmudar, J.)
