The Supreme Court addressed the legality of orders passed by the Press and Registration Board under Section 8-C of the Press and Registration of Books Act, 1867, concerning the publication rights of Dainik Bhaskar. The Court held that the actions taken by Ramesh Chander Agarwal were in violation of the Companies Act, 1956, and that the purported lease and declarations made were invalid due to lack of proper authority and consent from all partners. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, affirming the High Court's decision to cancel the declarations made by Ramesh Chander Agarwal.
