MALAPRABHA COOP SUGAR FACTORY LTD. vs U.O.I. — CONMT.PET.(C) No. 400 - 401/1998

Case Summary: On 16 November 2000, the Supreme Court dismissed contempt petitions filed by Malaprabha Coop Sugar Factory Ltd. and Indian Sugar Mills Association challenging non-compliance with prior Court orders regarding sugar levy price fixation for 1974-75 to 1979-80. The petitioners contended the Government failed to add the full amount payable under Clause 5A of the Sugarcane Control Order (₹22.050 for West U.P.) to the revised levy price; the Court found the Government's revised price fixation (₹172.430) complied with legal directions and adequately considered the 50% retention benefit to manufacturers, dismissing the petitions with no costs awarded.
