Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in granting relief to the respondent despite acknowledging the applicability of the precedent set in Ratan Kaur Vs. Union of India (1997 (10) SCC 61), which stated that a second renewal of a license is not permissible. The Court emphasized that the Division Bench's decision to disregard this precedent without distinguishing features was improper. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, affirming the legality of the Lt. Governor's order regarding the renewal of the license.
