Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti Pilibhit & ... vs Pilibhit Pantnagar Beej Ltd. & Anr

The Supreme Court ruled that 'seed' falls under the definition of 'Wheat' as per the U.P. Krishi Utpadan Mandi Samiti Adhiniyam, specifically Section 2(a) which defines agricultural produce. The Court emphasized that the Act aims to regulate the sale and purchase of agricultural produce, including seeds, which are governed by the Seeds Act, 1966. The holding clarifies that traders dealing in seeds are subject to the provisions of the Mandi Act, thereby affirming the applicability of market fees on seed transactions.
