Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Madhya Pradesh High Court's orders in a writ petition regarding the issuance of liquor licenses were made in disregard of established norms governing writ jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the respondent-firm failed to comply with the auction conditions, specifically regarding the bank guarantee and payment of monthly rentals, which justified the cancellation of the licenses. The Court upheld the appellants' actions to cancel the licenses and re-auction the group, reinforcing the importance of adherence to auction rules.
