Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Patna High Court's judgment declaring Sections 4A and 4B of the Bihar Agricultural Produce Markets (Amendment) Act, 1993, and Section 33M of the Markets Act as unconstitutional, violating Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court found that the retrospective application of Section 4A was also ultra vires. Additionally, Rule 68(iii) of the Bihar Agricultural Produce Markets Rules was deemed invalid. The outcome affirmed the High Court's decision, reinforcing the protection of constitutional rights against legislative overreach.
