U.P. STATE AGRO INDUSTRIAL CORPN. LTD. vs KISAN UPBHOKTA PARISHAD .

The Supreme Court addressed the definition of 'agricultural implements' in the context of subsidies for Animal Driven Vehicles (ADV carts) under the U.P. Government order dated 20.11.1996. The Court held that ADV carts qualify as agricultural implements based on their definition in common parlance, thus allowing cane growers to purchase them from sources other than the U.P. State Agro Industrial Limited to avail subsidies. The judgment clarified the interpretation of terms used in government orders, emphasizing the need for common usage definitions unless specifically defined otherwise.
