Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the confiscation of 80 bags of Khandsari sugar under the Delhi Sugar Dealers Licensing Order, 1963, which permits possession of only up to 10 quintals without a license. The Court found that the samples taken from the seized bags contained sucrose levels exceeding 90%, confirming the violation of the Licensing Order. The appellant's arguments regarding the representativeness of the samples and the need for further sampling were dismissed, affirming the Collector's order as reasonable and justified.
