enactment empowers the Board in its absolute discretion from time to time to determine where and in what
respective quantity, the output of dried fruits produced in any particular year is to be marketed and to take
whatever action as the Board thinks fit for
purpose of enforcing

Nnonaitra has entered into contracts with various purchasers in other states tor the sale and
delivery ot such truits amounting to 370 tons. His fruits were seized by the Board while he was entering into
theState ot Assam and his whole business was brought to a standstill. Rhona Mitra initiated a suit in the
High Court of West Bengal in which he alleged that Section 20o of the Impugned enactment is invalid as it

protests which began in Assam has spread to Delhi, Meghalaya, M anipur, and 'Tripura. The reasons given tor
the protests by the participating student organizations, human rights activists, and citizen groups variously
include discrimination on the basis of religion, accommodation ofillegal immigrants, and police
