Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's dismissal of ICICI Bank's writ petition, affirming that illuminated signboards above ATM centers constitute advertisements under Section 328 and 328-A of the Bombay Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. The Court ruled that the Municipal Corporation's notice requiring permission for such signage was lawful, referencing the precedent set in Municipal Corporation of Greater Bombay Vs. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. The appeal was consequently dismissed, reinforcing the interpretation of signage regulations under municipal law.
