The scheme gave only a limited right to object on notice and did not confer a substantive right to block lawful competition. Since the applicant did not object under the prescribed procedure, belonged to no specially protected class, and showed no infringement of a legal right, his complaint amounted only to commercial loss from competition, which is damnum sine injuria. He was therefore not a person aggrieved and lacked locus standi to challenge the grant. en-us Fri, 19 Dec 1975 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 09 Apr 2015 14:42:42 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=169259 A rival cinema proprietor could not maintain certiorari under Article 226 against a no-objection certificate issued under the Bombay cinema regulatory scheme because standing depends on a legal right, legally protected interest, or special statutory interest.
