Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the Bombay High Court's order that had revoked the appellant's permission to run a school. The Court emphasized that the State Government supported the continuation of the school due to increased demand in the area, and found no merit in the first respondent's objections regarding competition and irregularities in obtaining permission. The Court held that the appellant's school had been operational for eight years without causing prejudice to the first respondent's rival school, thus permitting the appellant to continue operating the school in accordance with existing regulations.
