Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed whether 'ghee' qualifies as a 'product of livestock' under The Andhra Pradesh (Agricultural Produce and Livestock) Markets Act, 1966, specifically referencing Sections 2(v) and 2(xv). The Court held that 'ghee' is indeed a product of livestock as defined by the Act, affirming the government's authority to regulate its purchase and sale through proper notifications. The judgment confirmed the validity of the government notification G.O. Ms. No.286 dated 05.07.1994, establishing 'ghee' as a regulated product in notified market areas.
