vs

The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision that the Market Committee could not levy market fees from the plaintiff Association due to its failure to provide necessary market facilities as mandated by the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural (Produce & Livestock) Markets Act, 1966. The Court emphasized that the primary objective of the Act is to ensure a functional market environment, and without the provision of such facilities, the Committee's demand for fees was unjustified. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decree in favor of the plaintiff.
