| Supply of milk to Army: HC finds no merit in petition | | |
Early Times Report
Srinagar, Mar 27: In a petition filed by the Milk Producers Cooperative Marketing Processing Ltd against communication of of MoD dated 12.07.2017 whereby the Ministry of Defence has restricted the eligibility to enter into contract for supply of fresh Milk to the Army in the State of Jammu & Kashmir only to such Cooperative Milk Societies/Federations belonging to the State of Jammu & Kashmir which are affiliated to National Cooperative Dairy Federation of India (NCDFI). The petitioner sought quashment of the order and to allow the petitioner No.1 to supply milk and milk products to the Military Forms located in the State of Jammu & Kashmir through Army Supply Corps.
Justice Sanjeev Kumar of J&K High Court after hearing both the sides observed that there was never any unequivocal promise extended to the petitioners that they would be allowed to participate in the tendering process to the exclusion of outside cooperative milk federation/societies for all times to come. The Government had been coming up with policy from time to time and it is no doubt true that keeping in view the peculiar circumstances in the State and to provide boost to the diary cooperatives of the State, the Government of India, in its wisdom, restricted the zone of participation in the tendering process only to the approved milk federations based in the State of Jammu & Kashmir.
Justice Sanjeev Kumar further observed that this Court does not find any merit in the petition and consequently challenge to the impugned communication fails. Justice Sanjeev Kumar further said that order of status quo granted by this Court on 26.07.2017 shall remain in force for the aforesaid period of five weeks. |
