Brihanmumbai Mahanagarpalika & Anr vs Willingdon Sports Club & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the obligation of respondent No.1 to obtain a license under Section 394(1)(e) of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888 for providing catering services. The Court held that the provision of catering services to members and their guests constitutes an 'eating house' under the Act, thus necessitating a license. The appeal against the Bombay High Court's order was dismissed, affirming the requirement for compliance with municipal licensing regulations.
