Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Madhya Pradesh High Court's orders in writ petition No. 711 of 1995 were made in disregard of the norms governing writ jurisdiction, particularly concerning the cancellation of liquor licenses. The Court emphasized that the respondent-firm failed to comply with the auction conditions, specifically the requirement to furnish a bank guarantee as per the rules. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's interim orders and upheld the authority's decision to propose cancellation of the licenses due to non-compliance with the auction terms.
