Issues involved: Determination of whether certain villages are within the notified market area for the purpose of paying market fees under the Orissa Agricultural Produce Market Act, 1956.
Judgment Summary: Issue 1: Notification of Market Area The State Government declared the notified market area under Section 4 of the Orissa Agricultural Produce Market Act, 1956. The notification specified that the area within an 8 km radius from certain specified plots falls within the notified area, including the villages of Saharatikira and Bheden situated within this radius from the specified police stations. As the respondent was purchasing paddy from these villages within the notified area, they are liable to pay market fees under the Act. The appeal was allowed, setting aside the High Court's order, with no costs awarded. The special leave petition was dismissed as withdrawn.
