https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=465565 Section 16 of the U.P. Sugarcane (Regulation of Supply and Purchase) Act, 1953 was construed to permit the State Government to fix an advised price of sugarcane above the Central Government's minimum price. The higher State price was held to be consistent with the Sugarcane (Control) Order, 1966 and not repugnant to Section 3(2)(c) of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955, because repugnancy arises only where the enactments are irreconcilable; a State advised price above the Central minimum can operate alongside the Central scheme. The earlier and later Constitution Bench decisions were read as dealing with different statutory settings, so no conflict required reference to a larger Bench. en-us Wed, 22 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 30 Dec 2025 17:31:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=465565 Section 16 of the U.P.
