ISSUE:
Whether the Tobacco Board Act enacted by the Parliament under Entry 52 of List I can be held to be constitutionally valid and within the legislative competence of the Parliament?
Can both the Acts, namely the tobacco board act and the Agricultural Produce Market Act, be allowed to operate?
If there is a repugnancy between the two, then whether the Central Act would prevail?
RULE:
Entry 52 of the Union List says that the Union can legislate on “Industries, the control of which by the Union is declared by Parliament by law to be expedient in the public interest.”
