SIEL LTD. vs U O I — C.A. No. 4726 - 4741/1998

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the U.P. Sheera Niyantran Adhiniyam 1964 and state notifications controlling molasses distribution and pricing, holding that trade/commerce in products of controlled industries falls under Entry 33 of the Concurrent List, not exclusively under Union Entry 52. The Court rejected claims of unreasonable restrictions on Article 19(1)(g) rights, finding the state's economic policy fair and long-standing. Similar appeals regarding Bihar's molasses control legislation were also dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
