https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185230 Section 447(6) of the Kerala Municipality Act, 1994 creates a deemed licence where the Secretary does not communicate an order on a licence application within the statutory period. The text explains that the application was submitted on 13.03.2008 and the refusal was communicated only on 23.04.2008, beyond thirty days. Because a deeming provision must be given full effect, the statutory fiction operated and the applicant was entitled to the benefit of a deemed licence notwithstanding the absence of an express licence. The Corporation was therefore restrained from preventing the retail business at the premises. en-us Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 14:47:10 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=185230 Section 447(6) of the Kerala Municipality Act, 1994 creates a deemed licence where the Secretary does not communicate an order on a licence application within the statutory period.
