Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a Gujarat government resolution prohibiting the export of ordinary sand extracted from the state. The court found that the resolution imposed an unreasonable restriction on the rights of leaseholders and traders, thereby infringing upon their ability to conduct business. Consequently, the court quashed the resolution, allowing the export of processed sand subject to regulatory compliance.
