The Court treated the exemption power as part of the regulatory scheme for fixation and payment of price, not as a separate administrative discretion, and held that natural justice applied before any order could reduce or extinguish growers' rights. The Government was required to invite and consider the growers' objections on the factory's claimed profit position before deciding exemption. The impugned exemption order was therefore invalid. en-us Wed, 19 Nov 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 18 Apr 2019 18:33:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=277793 A statutory exemption under clause 5(3) of the Sugar Cane Control Order, 1966 could not be granted without hearing the cane growers because the exemption directly affected their accrued entitlement to additional cane price.
