Kisan Sahkari Chini Mills Ltd. & Ors vs Vardan Linkers & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the cancellation of permission granted to Vardan Linkers for lifting molasses, emphasizing that the State's policy on molasses sales, governed by the Molasses Sales Committee, must be adhered to. The Court clarified that the cancellation order was arbitrary and violated principles of natural justice, as it was issued without proper justification. The Court ruled that the State must follow its own regulations and maintain transparency in the allocation process, thereby affirming the rights of bona fide consumers under the relevant policy framework.
