1994 (7) TMI 280 - SUPREME COURTWhether the petitioners can be prohibited from acting as commission agents on behalf of the seller, namely, agriculturist? Whether the agriculturist, who thus sells his produce is a 'trader'? Held that:- Appeal allowed. The High Court fell into patent error in holding that the expression "trader" as defined under the Act includes agriculturists. It failed to notice that the Legislature has separately defined the expression "agriculturist" under section 2(b) of the Act. In any case the traders and the commission agents have been specifically excluded from the definition of "agriculturist" under section 2(b) of the Act. It seems that section 2(b) was not brought to the notice of the High Court otherwise, for ought, the result may have been different.
