The State Of Tamil Nadu Food, Civil ... vs National South Indian River ...

The Supreme Court overturned the Madras High Court's decision that deemed the Tamil Nadu government's loan waiver scheme for small and marginal farmers as arbitrary. The Court held that the classification of farmers for the loan waiver was a policy decision made by the state, which aimed to support vulnerable farmers. The Court emphasized the need for targeted assistance to small and marginal farmers, thereby upholding the government's scheme as a valid exercise of its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution.
