https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283996 Rule 10-A of the A.P. Cinemas (Regulation) Rules, 1979 was treated as a valid exercise of delegated power because regulation of seating capacity had a direct link to the statutory scheme for licensing and cinematograph regulation, including reduction of capacity in appropriate cases. The Government memo dated 23-5-1995 was considered outside statutory power because executive instructions cannot override the Rules or curtail the discretion vested in the Licensing Authority. A statutory authority must apply its own judgment under Rule 10-A, so rejection of applications solely on the basis of the memo amounted to abdication of statutory function and vitiated the orders. en-us Thu, 26 Aug 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 23 Oct 2019 10:41:55 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=283996 Rule 10-A of the A.P.
