Canalisation orders have been upheld by this Court as
reasonable within Article 19(6) of the Constitution. The
recent unreported decision in M/s Daruka & Co. v. Union of
India Writ Petition No. 94 of 1972 dated 31 August, 1973
referred to the earlier decisions in Glass Chaton case
[1962] 1 S.C.R. 862, Devasan of Bhimji Gobil case [1963] 2
S.C.R. 73 and upheld the distributing channels of imports
and exports of different commodities and goods.
The petitioners contend that though the order obliges
producers of yarn to sell to persons named there is no
obligation on those persons to buy, and, therefore, it is an
unreasonable restriction. The petitioners supported this
contention by instances where those persons or bodies failed
to lift the stock of yarn. It is said that producers,
therefore, suffered losses. There were cases where the
allottees did not lift the goods when the voluntary scheme
was in operation. The allotment order on record shows that
the allotment of yarn is made subject to the conditions that
the allotted yarn would be lifted within 15 days of receipt
of intimation from the mill after making necessary payments.
If any portion of the yarn is not paid for and lifted within
the stipulated time, the State Government may intimate the
same to the Cotton Corporation of India and the
mills\concerned. The Cotton Corporation will effect
428
payment and take charge of the yarn. The Textile
Commissioner on receipt of such intimation will issue the
reallotment orders and in respect of such reallotted yarn
the allottee State Government will make necessary payments
to the Cotton Corporation of India. The conditions of
allotment ensure lifting of yarn by the nominees of the
State Government within a reasonable time. In the past at
the initial stages of the voluntary control scheme the State
Government nominees were not adequately financially equipped
and that is why there were cases of non-lifting of yarn. It
cannot happen now. The Distribution Control Scheme does not
impose an unreasonable restriction on the producer's right
to carry on his business.
