Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the order of the Secretary, Cane Development and Sugar Industries, which had cancelled the permission granted to Vardan Linkers for lifting molasses from sugar mills. The Court emphasized that the sale of molasses must adhere to the guidelines established by the Molasses Sales Committee as per the State Government's policy. The judgment reinforced the principle that allotments made to bona fide consumers cannot be transferred, thereby affirming the legality of the High Court's ruling.
