Case Summary: C.A. No. 002980/2005 (State of Haryana v. Saraswati Sugar Mills Ltd.) The Supreme Court allowed the State's appeal against the High Court's stay of molasses control orders. The State had imposed control on molasses sales via notification dated 15.4.2004; the High Court had stayed the Controller's subsequent inquiry order from 25.6.2004. The Supreme Court found the High Court erred in staying the Controller's decision without establishing lack of jurisdiction or unreasonable fact-appreciation. It permitted the Controller to hold a fresh inquiry into whether any 2003-2004 stock was disposed between 25.5.2004-23.8.2004, with respondents having remedy before the revisional authority or High Court pending writ petition.
