EDWARD KEVENTER PVT.LTD. vs BIHAR STATE AGRL.MKT.BOARD — C.A. No. 2503/1998

Case Summary: Edward Keventer Pvt. Ltd. v. Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board The Supreme Court held that Frooti and Appy beverages are not covered under the Bihar Agricultural Produce Market Act, 1960, and cannot be subject to market fees. Although manufactured from mango pulp and apple concentrate, these ready-to-serve beverages become entirely different products through processing and lose their original fruit identity; crucially, they are not specifically listed in the Act's Schedule of agricultural produce, and the Act requires items to be explicitly scheduled to fall within its scope.
