https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173251 A temporary ban on khandsari power crushers was upheld as a reasonable restriction on trade under Article 19(1)(g) because it served the statutory objective of securing sugar availability and equitable distribution during shortage. The challenge under Article 14 and excessive delegation failed, as clause 8 of the Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966 was supported by the policy of Section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act and the distinction between sugar mills and khandsari units had a rational basis. Clause 8 was read as authorising temporary stoppage, and no prior hearing was required. The exemption for vertical crushers was discriminatory, but that word was severable. en-us Mon, 09 Mar 1981 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Sep 2015 18:37:52 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173251 A temporary ban on khandsari power crushers was upheld as a reasonable restriction on trade under Article 19(1)(g) because it served the statutory objective of securing sugar availability and equitable distribution during shortage.
