MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THECITY OF AHMEDABAD & ORS. vs JAN MOHAMMED USMANBHAI & ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the standing orders issued under Section 466(1)(D)(b) of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporation Act, 1949, which mandated the closure of slaughterhouses on seven specified days. The Court ruled that this restriction did not constitute an unreasonable limitation on the respondent's fundamental right to carry on trade under Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The appeal by the Corporation was allowed, affirming that the standing orders were in the public interest and did not violate constitutional rights.
