Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the resolution passed by the Agricultural Produce Market Committee under Section 32(5) of the Madhya Pradesh Krishi Upaj Mandi Adhiniyam, 1973, abolishing the 'Kachhi Adhat System'. The Court ruled that this abolition does not violate Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, as it serves the public interest by preventing exploitation of producers by commission agents. The decision was affirmed, dismissing the Special Leave Petition challenging the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition.
