https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188916 Section 25(1)(c) of the Bihar Mica Act, 1947 was treated as a regulatory restriction supported by objective standards, since cancellation of a mica licence was confined to repeated non-compliance, required a reasonable opportunity to show cause, and operated through the State Government under a controlled statutory scheme. The provision was therefore held to be a valid restriction on property and trade rights. By contrast, the licence cancellation itself was found invalid because the record did not establish repeated failure, the defaults were treated as trivial, the petitioner was not given a real and effective opportunity to answer the charge, and the action was tainted by bias in the decision-making process. The cancellation could not stand. en-us Tue, 15 Dec 1959 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 17:19:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=188916 Section 25(1)(c) of the Bihar Mica Act, 1947 was treated as a regulatory restriction supported by objective standards, since cancellation of a mica licence was confined to repeated non-compliance, required a reasonable opportunity to show cause, and operated through the State Government under a controlled statutory scheme.
