What is this about?
In reserved appeals filed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai regarding shop signboards, the High Court upheld the acquittal. The Court held that without evidence of an intention to invite customers or commercial value, a signboard is merely indicative of a business location and not an offence under Section 328A of the BMC Act.
What did the court decide?
The criminal appeals filed by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai were dismissed, and the reasoning that the signboards did not constitute advertisements was affirmed.
