SIR SHADILAL DISTILLERY & CHEMICALS WORKS vs THE STATE OF U.P. & ORS.

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order that quashed the allotment of the Haridwar district to the appellant, holding that the third respondent's factory was not located in Haridwar and had not executed the necessary agreement for licensing. The Court emphasized the need for the Government to issue a notice to both parties and consider their objections before making a decision regarding the grant or refusal of the license. The appeal was allowed, and the Government was directed to complete the process within six weeks while maintaining the status quo.
