THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA vs MAHARASHTRA HYBRID SEEDS CO. PVT. LTD.

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to de-seal the respondent-Company's godowns, emphasizing compliance with the Seeds Act, 1966 and related regulations. The Court found that the appellant-authorities failed to provide sufficient evidence of a valid license violation by the respondent for processing and storing seeds. The judgment clarified that mere suspicion of non-compliance does not justify sealing without proper legal grounds, thus affirming the High Court's order to restore access to the godowns.
