It held that the restrictions imposed by sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Jute Packaging Materials (Compulsory Use in Packing Commodities) Act, 1987 were reasonable and not arbitrary, because the scheme advanced socio-economic justice by supporting raw jute growers, workers, and an agro-based industry in the public interest. The Court also held that the measure did not infringe Article 301, as it regulated only packing material and did not restrict the free movement of goods. Further challenges based on the advisory committee, jute supply, and phased withdrawal were treated as policy matters, and were rejected. en-us Thu, 25 Apr 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 17 Dec 2016 11:20:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188806 The Supreme Court upheld the compulsory jute-packaging regime as a valid economic and regulatory measure.
