They also could not be justified as market regulation, since "regulation" under the relevant provision did not extend to a complete prohibition or to restricting an ordinary business to a few designated shops. The restriction created an exclusive commercial privilege and an unreasonable restraint on the right to carry on business, so the bye-laws were invalid. en-us Tue, 24 Aug 1965 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 10:50:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=197631 Municipal bye-laws that confined wholesale or auction sale of fruits and vegetables to four specified shops were held to go beyond the power to prohibit sales in unlicensed premises, because that power allowed licensing of suitable premises but not fixing exclusive places of trade.
