NAFIS AHMAD vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court upheld the Allahabad High Court's decision to quash the license issued to the appellants for holding a private cattle market on Tuesdays, citing the need for a valid exercise of power by the Zila Panchayat under relevant local laws. The Court emphasized that the Zila Panchayat must consider all representations fairly before granting licenses. The outcome mandates the Zila Panchayat to re-evaluate the license application of the appellants in light of the respondents' claims, ensuring due process is followed.
