M/S ISHWARYA ASSOCIATES vs THE BRUHATH BANG. MAHANAGAR PALIKA

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Karnataka High Court's order, affirming that under Section 348 of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, only the Standing Committee has the authority to grant licenses for parking fee collection. The Court found that the Assistant Revenue Officer's prior grant of permission was invalid, as the appellant could not cite any provision allowing such authority. The dismissal of the Writ Appeal by the High Court was upheld, confirming the legality of the cancellation of the license.
