The Supreme Court on30.8.2012 held in the judgment attached:
"
28. In view of the aforesaid judgments of the Constitution Benches, we
hold that Article 254(2) of the Constitution is not available to the
appellants for seeking a declaration that the Market Act would prevail over
the Control Order and that transactions involving the purchase of sugarcane
by the factories operating in the market areas would be governed by the
provisions contained in the Market Act. As a corollary, we hold that the
High Court did not commit any error by quashing the notices issued by
appellant - Market Committees to the respondents requiring them to take
licence under the Market Act and pay market fee on the purchase of
sugarcane from Cane Growers/Cane Growers Cooperative Societies."
