B.Faizal, v. the Commissioner
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioner, a lessee whose lease and trade license had expired earlier, challenged the requirement of a No Objection Certificate from the lessors for license renewal. The Court held that insisting on such NOC was unjust given the lapse of the lease and directed the authorities to consider the license application on merits.
What did the court decide?
Directed the second respondent to consider the petitioner's request for a trade license on merits and in accordance with law upon production of the lease agreement.
