M/S. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation ... vs Dharamnath Singh

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Learned Single Judge, which quashed the termination of the dealership license of the respondent. The Court found that the agency conducting the sample collection lacked authority under Clause 7 of the relevant Control Order and Section 100 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Court emphasized that actions taken without following due process are arbitrary and violate principles of natural justice, thus affirming the lower court's ruling.
