Natural Justice in Licensing | Bombay HC Quashes Live Music License Refusal Based on Speculative Public Objections : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that denying an entertainment license solely on public objections-without substantive evidence of law-and-order risks-violates natural justice and Article 19(1)(g). The judgment reinforces that licensing authorities must balance constitutional rights with procedural fairness, setting a precedent for future licensing disputes in the entertainment sector.
