The petitioner cannot claim renewal of a catering license under the new policy due to failure to meet stipulated conditions outlined in previous judicial decisions.
The court ruled that the renewal of food stall licenses must adhere to the Catering Policy 2010, emphasizing the rights of existing licensees despite the expiration of their licenses.
Renewal of catering unit licenses is not automatic and is subject to fulfilling specified conditions as per the Catering Policy, 2010.
