Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of sub-section (3) of Section 5 of the Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets (Amendment) Act, 2015, which reduced the term of Agricultural Market Committees from three years to two years and the number of members from eighteen to fourteen. The Court found that the amendments were within the legislative competence of the State and did not violate any constitutional provisions. Consequently, the appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
