Summarize the following court judgment. ppeals Nos. 2064 of 1973 and 64 65	 163 164 and 189 of 1974. Appeals from the Judgment and Order dated the 19th November	 1973 of the Kerala High Court in O. F. No. 2821 of 1973 etc. T. section Krishnamourthy Iyer (In C. A. No	 2064 of 1973) and N. Sudharakan for the appellants. M. M. Abdul Khader and K. M. K. Nair	 for the respondents. The Judgment of the Court was delivered by RAY	 C. J. These appeals are by certificate from the judgment dated 19 November	 1973 of the High Court of Kerala. These appeals challange the validity of the notification dated 26 July	 1973 issued by the State Government under Rule 114(2) of the Defence of India Rules	 1971 hereinafter referred to as the Rules. Rule 114(2) is as follows : "If the Central Government or the State Government is of opinion that it is necessary or expedient so to do for securing the defence of India and civil defence	 the efficient conduct of military operations or the maintenance or increase of supplies and services essential to the life of the community or for securing the equitable distribution and availability of any article or thing at fair prices	 it may	 by order	 provide for regulating or prohibiting the production	 manufacture	 supply and distribution	 use and consumption of articles or things and trade and commerce therein or for preventing any corrupt practice or abuse of authority in respect of any such matter". The impugned notification is as follows: "No. 19768/E2/73/ID Dated Trivandrum	 26th July	 1973. S.R.O. No. 474/73: Whereas use of machinery for the extraction of fibre from coconut husk increased considerably in the districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey in recent times; And whereas mechanisation in the production of such fibre results in very high consumption of coconut husks and the consequent enhancement of the price of such husks; And whereas duo to the very high consumption of coconut husks for the production of fibre by using machinery and L251 Sup CI/75 98 the enhancement of the price of such husks	 sufficient quantity of such husks are not available at fair prices in the said districts for use in the traditional sector; And whereas the Government are of opinion that for securing the equitable distribution and availability at. fair prices of coconut husks in the said districts for production of fibre in the traditional sector it is necessary to prohibit the use of a machinery in those districts for the production of such fibre; Now	 therefore	 in exercise of the powers conferred by Sub Rule (2) of Rule 114 of the Defence of India Rules	 1971	 the Government hereby prohibit the production of fibre coconut husks by the use of the machinery in the said districts. By order of the Governor". The appellants are owners of Small Scale Industrial Units. They employ mechanised process for decortication of retted coconut husks. The main processes involved in the manufacture of coir yarn are these: First is retting of green husks. The green husks are covered with leaves and mud. The retted husks are then pounded or beaten. The fibre and pith then separate. The fibre is extracted	 cleaned and dried. Next comes spinning either with the help of ratt or by hand. Ratt is a mechanical contrivance. The final stage is bundling of coir yam for marketing. Government declared defibring of coconut husks by mechanical means as a small scale industry eligible for financial assistance under the Small Scale Industries Development Scheme. Most of the appellants availed themselves of loans under the Scheme. The appellants alleged in the petitions before the High Court that '	be cost involved in installing machinery in a proper building for the purpose would range from Rs. 22	000 to Rs. 35	000. The appellants challenged the notification on the ground that the formation of opinion by the State Government for the purpose of exercise of power under sub rule (2) of Rule 114 of the Rules is a justiciable issue and that the court should call for the material on which the opinion has been formed and examine the same to find out whether a reasonable man or authority could have come to the same conclusion that in its opinion for securing the equitable distribution and availability of retted husks at fair prices	 a regulation or prohibition of the manufacture of fibre from retted husks by mechanical means is necessary. The appellants allege that the reasons given in the notification as justifying the imposition of the total ban on the use of machinery for defibring husks are wholly erroneous and prima facie no reasonable person will consider them as justifying the said ban. The appellants also allege that there is no application of the mind of the authority to any genuine materials or to any relevant considerations in the exercise of the drastic power vested in the authority under Rule 114(2) of the Rules. 99 The High Court held that the appellants did not establish by material that the opinion formed by the State Government could not stand. There is no principle or authority in support of the view that whenever a public authority is invested with power to make an order which prejudicially affects the rights of an individual whatever may be the nature of the power exercised	 whatever may be the procedure prescribed and whatever may be the nature of the authority conferred	 the proceedings of the public authority must be regulated by the analogy of rules governing judicial determination of disputed questions (See Sadhu Singh vs Delhi Administration)(1). Where powers are conferred on public authorities to exercise the same when "they are satisfied" or when "it appears to term" or when "in their opinion" a certain state of affairs exists; or when powers enable public authorities to take "such action as they think fit" in relation to a subject matter	 the Courts will not readily defer to the conclusiveness of ' an executive authority 's opinion as to the existence of a matter of law or fact upon which the validity of the exercise of the power is predicated. Where reasonable conduct is expected the criterion of reasonableness is not subjective	 but objective. Lord Atkin in Liversidge vs Anderson (2) said "If there are reasonable &rounds	 the judge has no further duty of deciding whether he would have formed the same belief any more than	 if there is reasonable evidence to go to a jury	 the judge is concerned with whether he would have come to the same verdict". The onus of establishing unreasonableness	 however	 rests upon the person challenging the validity of the acts. Administrative decisions in exercise of powers even conferred in subjective terms are to be made in good faith on relevant considerations. The courts inquire whether a reasonable man could have come to the decision in question without misdirecting himself on the law or the facts in a material respect. The standard of reasonableness to which the administrative body is required to conform may range from the court 's own opinion of what is reasonable to the criterion of what a reasonable body might have decided. The courts will find out whether conditions precedent to the formation of the opinion have a factual basis. In Rohtas Industries Ltd. vs section D. Agarwala & Anr.(3) an order under section 237(b) (i) and (ii) of the Companies Act for investigation of the affairs of the company was challenged on the ground that though the opinion of the Government is subjective	 the existence of the circumstances is a condition precedent to the formation of the opinion. It was contended that the Court was not precluded from going behind the recitals of the existence of such circumstances in the order	 but could determine whether the circumstances did in fact (1) ; (2) ; 	 228 229. (3) ; 100 exist. This Court said that if the opinion of an administrative agency is the condition precedent to the exercise of the power	 the relevant matter is the opinion of the agency and not the grounds on which the opinion is founded. If it is established that there were no materials at all upon which the authority could form the requisite opinion	 the Court may infer that the authority passed the order without applying its mind. The opinion is displaced as a relevant opinion if it could not be formed by any sensible person on the material before him. It is appropriate to refer to the Report of the Committee appointed by the State Government to hold enquiries and advise the Government in respect of revision of minimum wages fixed for employment in Coir Industry. The Committee was constituted in the year 1969. The Committee gave its final report on 25 January	 1971. The Report is published by the Government of Kerala in 1971. The findings of the Committee are these. With the help of high powered machines	 fibre from husks on 1	000 coconuts could be extracted in 25 to 30 minutes. 10 workers would be required for effective attending to that work. 10 workers in 8 hours on an average could defibre husks of about 12000 coconuts. 30 workers would be required to remove the skins of the retted husks. In the usual course	 120 workers would have to be employed for beating husks of 12000 coconuts by hand. In short	 by the introduction of a single high powered machine	 80 persons would lose their employment. The Committee felt that under the circumstances when employment is acute especially in that State	 it is not practicable to encourage mechanisation for fibre production till alternative so of employment is developed. Therefore	 it is a wise course to regulate the expansion of the use of machi nery with high productive capacity in order to retain the labour force already working in this field. One high powered machine does the work of about 90 workers employing only 10 workers to operate it. The fibre extracted with the help of machinery is not used for the production of coir yam by a majority of employers in North Malabar area. The fibre is sold to outside agencies in Coimbatore	 Salem etc. and not used for spinning coir yam. The Committee recommended that the Government might appoint a separate committee to study the various problems on account of mechanisation in the industry and make suitable recommendations in that behalf. A Study Group was appointed to make a report on mechanisation in Coir Industry in Karela. The report of the Study Group is dated 13 April	 1973. It is published by the State Planning Board in May	 1973. The Study Group at pages 33 and 34 of the Report stated as follows. In a country like ours where unemployment and underemployment loom large	 any situation which brings in unemployment is not to be favored. Where again exceptional benefits are to flow in as a result of mechanisation	 and by thoughtful. and timely state action the painful effects resulting from mechanisation could be checkmated 101 it is not always desirable to persist with age old methods. Coir Industry brings employment or partial employment to an area where there s chronic unemployment and under employment. Any kind of mechanisation is bound to cause some displacement of people. But human values should be given the highest priority and any measure which brings suffering to those engaged in an industry cannot be ac ceptable. Mechanisation can bring steady employment to the few. It would also promote better remuneration. The only difficulty is that it an take in lesser number of persons. The Study Group suggested that a composite plan should be thought on these lines. The Coir Industry should be woven into the pattern of area development or regional development which win bring prosperity not only to the coir industry but also to many other ancillary industries and avocations. The objective should be to provide at least 300 days ' work in a year at reasonable wages to an those engaged in the coir industry. The Study Group recommended that the pace of mechanisation should be such that none should be thrown out of employment	 and for those who are displaced	 alternative work is to be found in the general development that is envisaged in the all round development plan which should think of not only the coir industry but also the other industries and avocations possible to be introduced in an area. It is in evidence that mechanisation progressed at a fairly high rate in the three districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey. Out of 414 mechanised units in the whole of the Kerala State consisting of 11 districts	 283 are in these three districts alone. There	 is a heavy concentration of mechanised units in the three districts. The figure given is that only 10 workers are required for defibring husks of 12000 coconuts a working day of 8 hours by the use of machines as against 120 workers by the process known as hand method. The mechanical work is done quickly to consume coconut husks in very large quantities. There has been large scale unemployment of labour engaged in the traditional method and there is serious unrest in the area. The State Government found in the context and background of the Reports and materials that the use of machinery for the purpose of extraction of fibre from husks in the	 region other than Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey Districts has not affected the supply and availability at fair prices of husks for extraction of fibre in the traditional sector as in the case of the districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey. The situation in other 8 districts	 according to the State	 does not require action under Rule 114 of the Defence of India Rules. Price increase of husk in these 8 districts was not comparable with that in the districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey. The Government	 therefore	 was of opinion that for securing the equitable distribution and availability at fair prices of coconut husks for production of fibre in the traditional sector in the remaining 8 districts of the State it is not necessary in the prevailing circumstances to prohibit the use of machinery in the remaining 8 districts for the production of fibre. 102 The appellants also contended that section 3(2)(21) of the Defence of India Act does not support Rule 114 and secondly section 38 of the Defence of India Act is violated. Section 3 (2) (21) of the Defence of India Act confers power on the authority to make orders providing inter alia for the control of trade or industry for the purpose of regulating or increasing the supply of	 or for maintaining supplies and services essential to the life of the community. Rule 114 is in complete consonance with the powers conferred under the aforesaid section 3(2)(21). Section 38 of the Defence of India Act states that any authority or person acting in pursuance of this Act shall interfere with the ordinary avocations of life	 and the enjoyment of property as little as may be consonant with the purpose of ensuring the public safety and interest and the defence of India and civil defence. It is a matter of policy for the State Government to decide to what extent there should be interference in relation to the enjoyment of property. The public interest is of paramount consideration. In the present case the steps taken are in the larger interests of labour engaged in the coir industry. The preeminent question is that it is an emergency legislation. In emergency legislation the causes for inducing the formation of the opinion are that coir is one of the most labour intensive industries in Kerala and it is estimated that more than 4 1/2 lakhs of worker 	 are employed in the various process of coir industry like getting	 hand spinning	 spindle spinning and manufacture of coir mats and matting and that about 10 lakhs of people depend upon this industry for their sustenance. Mechanisation in Coir Industry has been taking place in different parts of the State. The non mechanised sector of this industry is so labour intensive that mechanisation of fibre production is strongly opposed by workers because mechanisation results in very high consumption of coconut husks by the mechanised units and the consequent enhancement of price of husks and the non availability of sufficient quantity of husks at fair price for use in the traditional sector	 viz.	 hand beating of husks. There have been serious tensions including law and order situations. Because of the very high consumption of coconut husks for the production of fibre by using machinery and the enhancement of the price of such husks	 sufficient quantity of such husks are not available at fair prices in the Districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey for use in the traditional sector. Therefore for securing the equit able distribution and availability at fair prices of coconut husks in the said three districts for production of fibre in the traditional sector. it is necessary to prohibit use of machinery in these three districts. The State Government found on materials that use of machines. affected the availability of retted coconut husks for equitable distribution at fair prices. The notification is on the consideration of relevant and useful material. The opinion of the State Government cannot be said to be based on any matter extraneous to the scope and purpose of the relevant provisions of the statute. The materials sup porting the subjective satisfaction indicate that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the prescribed state of affairs exists and course of action is reasonably necessary for the given purpose of equitable distribution of coconut husks at fair prices. 103 The notification is issued after due care and caution on the basis of reliable and sufficient data obtained by proper investigation and enquiries. The Government took notice of section 38 of the Defence of India Act. The Government became satisfied about the public interest. The notification does not interfere with the avocations and enjoyment of property any more than is necessary for those purposes of equitable distribution of husks at fair price to the traditional sector. An argument was advanced that the notification offended Article 14. The course of action which the State adopted is that it became necessary to prohibit the use of machinery in the districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey in the traditional sector. It appears that out of 414 mechanised units in the State 283 units are in the Southern region of Kerala State consisting of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey and the balance 131 mechanised units are in the remaining 8 districts of the State. The use of machinery for the purpose of extraction of fibre from husks in the region other than Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey districts has not at present affected the sup and availability at fair prices of husks for extraction of fibre in the traditional sector as in the case of the three Districts. The situation in the 8 districts does not require action at the present moment. The classification is reasonable. It bears a nexus to the objects sought to be achieved by the impugned notification. In order to secure equitable distribution and availability at fair prices of coconut husks in the remaining 8 districts of the State for production of fibre in the traditional sector	 it is not necessary in the prevailing conditions to prohibit the use of machinery in the remaining 8 districts. It was also submitted that the notification offended Article 301. Article 302 states that the State can impose restrictions on the freedom of trade	 commerce or intercourse between one State and another or within any part of the territory of India. It was said that the Defence of India Act is not a law made by Parliament	 imposing restrictions is contemplated under Article	 302. The Defence of India Act has been passed by Parliament. The Rules under the Act have legislative sanction. The restrictions are imposed in the interest of the general public. The restrictions are reasonable in the interest of the industry and public. For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the High Court is upheld. The appeals are dismissed. In view of the fact that the High Court directed the parties to bear their own costs we also direct that the parties will pay and bear their own costs. V.P.S. Appeals dismissed.

The appellants	 who are owners of Small Scale Industrial Units	 employ mechanised process for decortication of retted coconut husks. The respondent State issued a notification in July 1973	 under r. 114(2) of the Defence of India Rules		 1971	 imposing a total ban on the use of machinery for defibring husks in the district of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey. The appellants	 who were affected by the notification	 challenged the validity of the notification. The High Court dismissed the petition. In appeal to this Court	 it was contended : (1) that section 3(2)(21) of the Defence of India Act does not authorise r. 114; (2) that the formation of opinion by the State Government for the exercise of power under the rule is a justiciable issue	 that the court should call for the material on which	 the opinion had been formed	 and examine it to find out whether a reasonable man or authority could have come to the conclusion that for securing equitable distribution and availability of retted husks at fair prices a regulation or prohibition of the manufacture of fibre by mechanical process was necessary; (3) that the reasons given in the notification imposing a total ban on the use of machinery were not justified; (4) that there was no application of the mind by the authority to any genuine materials or relevant considerations while exercising the power; (5) that section 38 of the Defence of India Act requires that	 consonant with the purpose of ensuring the public safety	 defence of India and Civil defence	 there should be minimum interference by an authority or person	 acting in pursuance of the Act with the ordinary avocations of life and enjoyment of property; (6) that the notification offended article 14; and (7) that it violated article 301	 of the Constitution. Dismissing the appeal	 HELD : (1) Rule 114 is in complete consonance with the powers conferred	 under section 3(2)(21). [102 B] (2) Where powers are conferred on public authorities to exercise the same when "they are satisfied" or when "it appears to them	 or when in their opinion" a certain State of affairs exists	 or when powers enable public authorities to take "such action as they think fit" in relation to a subject matter	 the courts will not readily defer to the conclusiveness of an executive authority 's opinion as to the existence of a matter of law or fact upon which the validity of the exercise of the power is predicated. Administrative decisions in exercise of powers conferred in subjective terms are to be made in good faith and on relevant considerations. The courts can inquire whether a reasonable man could have come to the decision in question without misdirecting himself on the law or the facts in a material respect. The standard of reasonableness to which the administrative body is required to conform may range from the court 's opinion of what is reasonable to the criterion of what a reasonable body might have decided; and courts will find out whether conditions precedent to the formation of the opinion have a factual basis. But the onus of establishing unreasonableness rests upon the person challenging the validity of the acts. [99 C D. E G] (3) The Committee appointed by the State Government in connection with	 the revision of minimum wages in the coir industry reported that when unemployment is acute in the State it is not practicable to encourage mechanisation for fibre production till alternative sources of employment are developed	 and 94 recommended that the Government might appoint a separate committee to study the various problems resulting from mechanisation in the industry. Accordingly	 a study group was appointed and that group reported that coir industry brings employment or partial employment to an area where there is chronic unemployment and under employment	 and hence	 any kind of mechanisation is bound to cause displacement of people. The study group therefore suggested a composite plan by which the coir industry should be woven into the pattern of area development or regional development which will bring prosperity not only to the coir industry but also to many other ancillary industries and avocations	 that the pace of mechanisation should be such that none should be thrown out of employment	 and that for those who are displaced alternative work is to be found in the general development that is envisaged. The State Government found that out of 414 mechanised units in the State	 282 units were in the three districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey and that the balance were in the remaining eight districts of the State	 and that the use of machinery for the purpose of extraction of fibre from husks in regions other than Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey districts had not affected the supply of and availability at fair prices of husks for extraction of fibre in the traditional sector. The Government therefore	 was of the 'opinion that it was necessary to prohibit the use of machinery only in those three districts	 but that it was not necessary to prohibit the use of machinery for the production of fibre in the other eight districts. [100 F 101 H] (4) It is a matter of policy for the State Government to decide to what extent there should be interference in relation to enjoyment of property. Public interest is of paramount consideration and in	 the present case the steps taken were in the larger interests of labour engaged in the coir industry. The notification was based on a consideration of relevant and useful material. 'The opinion of the State Government could not be said to have been based on any matter extraneous to the scope and purpose of the relevant provisions of the statute. The materials supporting the subjective satisfaction indicate that there were reasonable grounds for believing that the prescribed state of affairs existed and a course of action was reasonably necessary for the given purpose of equitable distribution of coconut husks at fair prices. [102 C H] (5) The Government took notice of section 38 of the Defence of India Act and was satisfied about the public interest. Further	 the notification does not interfere with the avocations and enjoyment of property any more than is necessary for the purposes of equitable distribution of husks at fair prices 'to the traditional sector. [103 A B] (6) The classification	 in the circumstances	 of the districts. is reasonable and bears a nexus to the objects sought to be achieved by the impugned notification. [103 D] (7) The Defence of India Act has been passed by Parliament and the Rules under the Act have legislative sanction. The restrictions imposed by them are in the interest of general public and are authorised under Article 302	 Therefore	 there is no violation of article 301. [103E G] Sadhu Singh vs Delhi Administration ; 	 Rohtas Industries vs section D. Agarwala ; 	 and Liversidge v Anderson ; 	 228 229	 referred to. ARGUMENTS For the appellants : The Notification Annexure A	 is justiciable. The court is not deprived of jurisdiction to examine the validity of the order. The grounds mentioned in Annexure A notification are irrelevant and there is no real and proximate connection between the ground given and the object which the Government has in view. The State Government never applied its mind to the matter and the Notification is malafide in the sense that the statutory power has been exercised for some indirect purpose not connected with the object of the statute or the mischief it seeks to remedy. (1) Jaichand Lall Sethia vs State of Bengal [1966] Suppl. S.C.R. 464. 95 It is open to court to enquire whether grounds really existed which would have created that satisfaction on which alone the order could have been made in the mind of a reasonable person. Though the satisfaction of the Government is subjective and its power is discretionary its exercise depends upon the honest formation of an opinion that in order to secure equitable distribution and availability at fair prices of husks for use for production of fibre in the traditional sector it is necessary to ban production of fibre by machines. The existence of these circumstances is a condition precedent and must be demonstrable. It is therefore open to the Court to examine the existence of such circumstances. The Barium Chemicals Ltd. vs The Company Law Board 	 357	 Rhotas Industries Ltd. vs section D. Agarwala ; Rose Clutnis vs Papddo Poullous 	 Ridge vs Baldwin 	 73. There has been no application of the mind to all the relevant factors justifying total ban being imposed with reference to reliable data and materials in issuing the Notification and therefore the action is mala fide. The action is not an action which is genuinely intended to implement the intention of the Defence of India Act or the rules and is not based on any enquiry or investigation or data made available to the Govt. before such action was taken. Nor was it made after any consultation or after reference to materials published by expert bodies like the State Planning Commission	 the Coir Board	 the Coir Advisory Committee appointed from time to time	 nor based upon literature of a reliable nature published by such bodies aforesaid. That being so	 the notification is ultra vires the Defence of India Act and the rules and for a purpose extraneous to the intention of the Defence of India Act. The purpose for which the notification has been issued is served by the Coconut Husks Control Order	 dated 29 9 1973 and the notifications issued under the Order. The above Order was issued by the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by section 3 of the Essential Commodities Act	 Act (10 of 1953). Two Notifications fixing the fair prices of the retted coconut husks were issued by the special officer for coir (Licensing Officer) constituted under cl. 4 of the Kerala Coconut Husks Control Order 1973. There is no material before the Government to conclude that the price of coconut husks increased only because of mechanisation. On the basis of section 38	 Defence of India Act	 the notification is beyond the needs of the situation. It is obligatory on the Government to have examined the several alternative remedies to make available husks to the traditional sector without banning manufacture of fibre by machines. The notification contravenes article 301 of the Constitution which guarantees that trade	 commerce and inter course throughout the territory of India shall be free. District Collector of Hyderabad vs M/s. Ibrahim & Co. Article 301 guarantees freedom of trade not only from geographical barriers but also from restrictions imposed on an individual to carry on trade or business	 other than a regulatory measure. ; (233). It is not open to the Parliament to delegate the power under article 302. The law passed under article 302 has to be in the interest of the public. There is nothing in the Defence of India Act to indicate that Parliament has imposed restrictions in the interest of public within the meaning of the Article. If there is no provision in the Act	 the power under article 302 cannot be delegated by rules to the Central Government or the State Government. 96 VII. The Notification banning the machinery of defibering husks is violative of the fundamental rights of the petitioners under article 14. It is highly discriminatory as its operation is confined to the 3 districts of Trivandrum	 Quilon and Alleppey. Owners of defibering machinery in other Districts are all similarly situated like the petitioners. For the respondent : (1) Ext. P. 1 order being issued in exercise of power conferred by law made by Parliament i.e. Defence of India Act 1971 & Defence of India 1971 there can be no violation or infringement of Fundamental Rights and other Constitutional rights. As a measure of emergency legislation "the words in the opinion of" in Rule 114(2) should be given the same width of meaning as in "satisfied" in Rule 30 Defence of India Rules 1962 as expounded by this Hon 'ble Court in decisions namely. 	 469 470. 	 718	 719	 740. These decisions show that the Courts are only entitled to look into the matter which if in terms of the Rule	 then Court is bound to stay its hands and that the recital will be accepted in the absence of any inaccuracy. It is open to the Court to satisfy itself	 as to the accuracy of the recital only if the order suffers from any lacunas. The meaning given to the expression	 "the reason to believe" are in the sentence as explained above in the context of emergency although the meaning given to these expressions will be in the sense ruled by this Court in Bariunam	 Chemicals case and Rohtas Industries case when these expressions occur in peaceful legislations. For the Construction of these words in the context of emergency see ; 	 718. ; 	 132. ; 	 122. ; 	 128. 	 247. ; 	 239	 251 252	 253	 256 257	 263	 239. wade and Phiulip Constitutional Law	 1970 pp. 631	 632.

Assuming that the ratio of Barium Chemicals Case and of Rohtas Case ; is applicable to the notification it is submitted the materials furnished in paras 4 to 9 of the Counter affidavit are sufficient to sustain it. The machines consume enormous quantity of coconut husks starving out the traditional section. The owners of machinery are able to corner large quantity of husk at exorbitant pi ices to the detriment of traditional sector because of the large saving in wages resulting from the displacement of labour by mechanisation. Due Compliance of section 38 is to be presumed. ; ; 	 132.
