JANKI SUGAR MILLS & CO. vs COMMISSIONER OF MEERUT DIVISION, MEERUT

The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the Recovery Certificate issued under Sections 17 and 18 of the U.P. Sugarcane (Regulation of Supply and Purchase) Act, 1953, affirming that the terms 'bonded cane' and 'unbonded cane' are not defined in the statute but are understood in their ordinary meanings. The Court ruled that the appellant firm was not entitled to deductions from the minimum cane price for 'bonded cane' supplied, as the concessions were only applicable to 'unbonded cane'. The appeal was dismissed, confirming the arbitrator's award requiring the appellant to pay the minimum price for the cane supplied.
