Municipal Corporation Of Greater ... vs Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Bombay High Court, affirming that the sign boards erected by the respondent at their petrol pumps do not constitute advertisements requiring permission under Section 328 and 328A of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Court established that such boards serve merely as indicators of location for motorists rather than promotional advertisements. Consequently, the Municipal Corporation's attempt to take action against the respondent was restrained, affirming the lower court's ruling.
