UNION OF INDIA . vs S.P. ANAND — C.A. No. 734/2002

CASE SUMMARY: The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the Union of India's appeal against the Madhya Pradesh High Court's order on wheat price fixation. The Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Article 226 by issuing directions on zonal wheat pricing, which constitutes interference with executive policy decisions. The Court set aside the High Court's judgment, finding it lacked material basis and was disposed of in a cavalier manner, and allowed the appeal.
