Footwear without back strap is sandal, not chappal, rules HC
The Delhi High Court has ruled that a woman's footwear without a back strap is a sandal and not a chappal, opposing the government's contention that it was a chappal. This comes after a Chennai-based footwear manufacturer challenged the government's position which allows only 5% customs duty drawback for chappals while allowing 10% for sandals.
