KISHAN LAL vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Rajasthan Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1961, specifically regarding the levy of market fees on Khandsari, Shakkar, Gur, and Sugar, citing Section 40 of the Act. The Court ruled that the inclusion of sugar as agricultural produce was within the legislative competence of the State, rejecting claims of excessive delegation and arbitrary classification. The Court clarified that the definition of 'agricultural produce' is inclusive and does not exclude products from mills or factories, affirming that sugar can be deemed agricultural produce under the Act.
