Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's approach in granting relief for a second renewal of a license was erroneous, as the representation made was for a fresh grant, not a renewal. The Court emphasized that the Division Bench improperly distinguished the case from Ratan Kaur Vs. Union of India (1997 (10) SCC 61) without indicating any distinguishing features, thus upholding the Lt. Governor's decision as legal and proper. The appeal was allowed, and no costs were awarded.
