Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision regarding the allotment of shop-cum-godowns by the Agricultural Market Committee under Article 136 of the Constitution. The Court found no infirmity in the High Court's ruling that the rent fixed by the Market Committee was appropriate, taking into account the recommendations of the Fruit Commission Agents and government approval via G.O. Rt. No. 589. The Court emphasized that the construction of the sheds, while contested by the appellants, was not a matter for adjudication as it was not pressed before the High Court, leading to the dismissal of the appeals.
