VISHNU DAYAL MAHENDRA PAL AND OTHERS vs STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Uttar Pradesh Krishi Utpadhan Mandi Adhiniyam, 1964, ruling that it does not violate Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court found that the composition of the market committee, which includes only 10 out of 23 members from producers, does not create a perpetual majority, thus ensuring fair representation. The Court also held that the licensing provisions and requirements for storage space do not impose unreasonable restrictions on the petitioners' right to trade, as none had been denied a license.
