Sheeja.E v. the State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
Batch of writ petitions concerning refusal of No-objection certificates for petroleum retail outlets on the ground that the proposed sites did not conform to IRC Guidelines and MORTH Norms. The court held that District Authorities may rely on the IRC Guidelines though they lack the force of law, and that MORTH Norms apply only along National Highways. Writ petitions dismissed.
