Orders
Case Summary: West U.P. Sugar Mills Association v. State of Uttar Pradesh A Five-Judge Constitution Bench resolved whether both Central and State governments can fix sugarcane prices, and whether Uttar Pradesh's State Advised Price (SAP) under the 1953 Sugarcane Act conflicts with Central legislation. The Court held that while both governments possess concurrent power under the Constitution, the Central Government's minimum price takes precedence; however, States may validly fix an "advised price" higher than the Central minimum without violating federal supremacy. The Court disposed of all civil appeals, special leave petitions, contempt petitions, and transferred cases (decided December 9, 2020).
