Article 19(1)(g) | Executive Ban on Summer Paddy Without Statutory Backing Violates Farmers' Right to Agricultural Freedom : Uttarakhand HC
Uttarakhand High Court struck down an executive order restricting summer paddy cultivation on non-waterlogged land, ruling that crop choice restrictions require statutory sanction. The judgment reinforces that farmers' fundamental right to practice any occupation under Article 19(1)(g) cannot be curtailed by administrative fiat without legislative backing, setting a precedent for agricultural freedom.
