Unbounded sugarcane
Unbounded sugarcane, it must be stated however, that neither the expression 'bonded sugarcane' nor 'unbonded sugarcane' has been defined either in the statue or in the U.P. Sugarcane Supply and Purchase Order, 1954 and, therefore, regard must be had to the ordinary dictionary meaning of the said expressions. In shorter Oxford English Dictionary the legal and technical meaning of the expression 'bond' is given as 'a deed by which the obligor binds himself, his heirs, executors, or assigns to pay a certain sum to the oblige.' In stroud's judicial Dictionary (4th Edn.) the expression 'bond' is explained as: an obligation by deed'. It will thus be clear that the expression 'bonded sugarcane' must mean sugarcane secured by a bond or deed. Under the Notification of the Cane Commissioner dated June 1, 1955 certain deductions from the minimum price per maund of cane fixed for the season 1954-55 had been notified in respect of the 'Unbonded sugarcane' crushed on or after May 1, 1955 In other wo...
