The High Court has ordered the government to file a status report on the importation of 490,000 tonnes of duty-free rice authorised under a Gazette Notice published last month.

The court further directed the government to file the report within 30 days, detailing the quantity of rice imported and cleared so far, the balance of the authorised quota, all customs entries lodged but not yet completed, and the status of those entries.
