Court index description
As the concerned notices were not published in any national daily newspapers recognized by persons of ordinary prudence and the aforesaid objection was not considered, these vitiated the whole process of licensing. Because, here licensing authority did not comply with the procedure established by law, did not act in accordance with the provisions of law, acted malafide and violated principles of natural justice. If it’s so, then established principle of law is that even if there is a ouster/non-obstante clause in any law, yet court has ample jurisdiction to review judicially whether the authority followed established principle of law or not.
