State of Maharashtra Vs Himmatbhai Narbheram Rao, AIR 1970 SC 1157

Hon'ble Supreme Court of India observed as under, " “under the Constitution a proper balance is intended to be maintained between the exercise of the right conferred by Art. 19(1)(f) and (g) and the interests of a citizen in the exercise of his right to acquire, hold or dispose of his property or to carry on occupation, trade or business. In striking that balance the danger which may be inherent in permitting unfettered exercise of right in a commodity must of necessity influence the determination of the restrictions which may be placed upon the right of the citizen ‘to the commodity’.”
