KRISHI UTPADAN MANDI SAMITI KANPUR, ETC. vs GANGA DAL MILL AND CO. AND ORS. ETC.

The Supreme Court ruled that the term 'legume' under the U.P. Krishi Utpadan Mandi Adhiniyam 1964 does not include its split form, 'dal', as specified agricultural produce unless explicitly notified. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Market Committee could not levy market fees on transactions involving dal, as it was not listed as specified agricultural produce in the Schedule. The Court emphasized that a valid notification under Section 6 or an amendment under Section 8 is necessary for the levy of market fees on such transactions.
