M/S.KURALI KHANDSARI UDYOG vs EXCISE COMMNR.&CONT.OF MOLASSES,U.P. — C.A. No. 4796/1998

The Supreme Court dismissed M/s. Kurali Khandsari Udyog's appeal against the Excise Commissioner's orders restricting molasses transportation outside Uttar Pradesh without permission. The Court upheld Rule 24 of the U.P. Sheera Niyantran Niyamavali, 1974, holding that restricting all molasses transport (not just vacuum-panned molasses) is a reasonable regulatory measure necessary to prevent smuggling of controlled vacuum-panned molasses disguised as khandsari molasses, and does not violate Article 19(1)(g) trade rights.
