MESSRS NOORULLA GHAZANFARULLA vs THE MUNICIPAL BOARD OF ALIGARH, ALIGARH

The Supreme Court upheld the revocation of the water supply licence granted to the appellant under Section 224 and Section 224-A of the U.P. Municipalities Act, 1916, affirming that the Municipal Board acted within its rights as per Section 224-B(2)(a) after obtaining necessary government sanction. The Court clarified that the appellant's request for revocation was valid due to its inability to fulfill the licence conditions, and thus the Board's decision to take over the water works was lawful. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
