Mumbai Agricultural Produce Market ... vs Hindustan Lever Limited & Ors

The Supreme Court held that under the Maharashtra Agricultural Produce Marketing (Regulation) Act, 1963, the Market Committee is entitled to collect market fees but not supervision charges from traders dealing in Vanaspati, as the traders did not have a trading center in the market yard. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the Market Committee lacked the authority to recover supervision charges and interest on delayed dues, as the relevant provisions did not support such charges. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
