UNION OF INDIA vs ANNAM RAMALINGAM ETC. ETC.

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Section 28 of the Gold Control Act, 1968, which restricts money lending on licensed premises without the Administrator's permission. The Court found that the lack of explicit guidelines does not equate to excessive delegation of legislative power, as the Act's overall scheme provides sufficient guidance for the Administrator's discretion. The Court emphasized that the provisions aim to prevent circumvention of the Act and protect the national economy from illegal gold transactions, thus ruling in favor of the validity of the section.
