JUDGMENT :
SAMEER JAIN, J.
1. In the present batch of writ petitions, the scope of the controversy involved, albeit not limited to but is broadly and predominantly defined by the threefold challenge raised regarding the extension of license period of the petitioner(s) for three months i.e. from 01.04.2024 to 30.06.2024,
The court mandates timely adjudication of claims for refund of security deposits and critical examination of policy extensions, enforcing principles of legality and procedural fairness in administrat....
The main legal point established is that the disputed factual questions should be adjudicated by the competent authority, and the grant of license in excise matter is not a fundamental right.
The specific conditions of a contract cannot be overridden by the law of equity.
