Agriculture Produce Market Committee, ... vs National Horticulture Board

The Supreme Court examined whether the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) was entitled to a subsidy provided by the National Horticulture Board (NHB) for modernizing cold storages. The case involved the withdrawal and recovery of the subsidy by NABARD, which was challenged by the APMC. The lower courts had differing views, with the Single Judge favoring the APMC and the Division Bench upholding the withdrawal. The Supreme Court ultimately restored the decision of the authorities to withdraw the subsidy, emphasizing the importance of adherence to the terms of the subsidy scheme and the authority's decision-making powers.
