M/S. DHAMPUR SUGAR (KASHIPUR) LTD. vs STATE OF UTTARANCHAL .

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, challenging the relaxation of Clause (ka) of the Notification dated November 15, 2003, which allowed the issuance of a license for a Power Crusher to M/s Indian Glycols Limited despite it being in the reserved area of the appellant's sugar mill. The Court found that the relaxation was within the government's authority and did not adversely affect the sugarcane supply to the existing mills. The Court held that the appellant's claims of illegality and mala fides were unsubstantiated, affirming the High Court's decision.
