Case: Mahabir Beopar Mandal Limited Vs. Forward Market Commission

This Court in Union of India &Anr. v. M/s. Rajdhani Grains and Jaggery Exchange Ltd . &Ors. (1975 Supp. S.C.R.1) dealt with this specific question and came to the conclusion that the specification of the commodities in respect of which the business can be carried on is a condition concerned wit h the regulation and control of the business relating to forward contracts. It is idle to suggest that the Commission in granting certificate of registration to carry on business will not be competent to specify the commodities in which the persons asking for registration will deal.

Reasoning: All contentions advanced by the appellants are already answered by the decision of this Court (supra) and the observations madecontention is also repelled by the decision of this Court to which reference has already been made. It has been held in that case that the Commission a lone is vested with power to impose conditions in regard to commodities in respect of which forward contracts can be entered into by a particular association. Sections 15 to 18 of the Act do not clash with the power of the Commission to impose conditions in respect of commodities in which business of forward contract can be carriedcontention is also answered by the decision of this Court (supra). Further the provisions contained in Chapter IIIA specifically deal with registration of all associations concerned with regulation and control of forward contracts and the power of the Commission to grant or refuse such certificate of registration.5.All contentions advanced by the appellants are already answered by the decision of this Court (supra) and the observations made
