Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of Writ Appeal No. 387 of 2009, confirming that only the Standing Committee under Section 348 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 has the authority to grant licenses for parking fee collection. The Court found that the Assistant Revenue Officer's prior grant of permission was unauthorized, and thus the cancellation of the license was justified. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision without error.
