1 - 3 of 3 (0.16 seconds)Commissioner Of Police, Bombay vs Gordhandas Bhanji on 23 November, 1951
24. A similar question came up for consideration before the Supreme Court in Commissioner of Police, Bombay v. Gordhandas Bhanji, . In that case, a licence was granted in favour of A in accordance with law. The said licence, however, came to be cancelled at the instance of the direction issued by higher authority. Dealing with the question, and setting aside the order, the Court held that when a power is conferred on an authority, it can be exercised by that authority alone, and he cannot exercise such power at the direction of superior authority. Such an action cannot be said to be the action taken by that authority, and must be held to be bad and illegal.
