In the present Edition sufficient care had been taken to place all important decisions at the appropriate places. At the outset we thank the staff of the Indian Law Institute Library, Delhi who had assisted us very well in completing the revisional work at the earliest point of time. We also thank Sri. P. Jagadeesh Chandra Prasad, Advocate, High of Andhra Pradesh and High Court of Telangana for his able assistance given to us while revising this Book. We also thank the Members of the Bar, being several in number, who had given us valuable suggestions for the further improvement of this Book. In Karnataka Live Band Restaurants Association v. State of Karnataka,' while dealing with the reasonableness of an order of 2005 under Section 31 of the Police Act, 1963 regulating restaurants displaying 'live band music', 'cabaret dance', 'discotheque' and 'imposing licence conditions relating to public safety, comfort, convenience, morality and law and order in the light of Article 14 of the Constitution of India, it was held that the said order is not arbitrary or discriminatory and not violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. In M/s. I Comm Tele Ltd. v. Punjab State Water Supply and Sewerage Board and another, while dealing with Tender and ambit of Judicial review, it was held that the terms of invitation to tender are not open to Judicial scrutiny unless they are arbitrary, discriminatory or malicious. In Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India,' it was held that to be a reasonable classification under Article 14 of the Constitution of India two criteria to be met (1) the classification must be founded on an intelligible differentia and (2) the differentia must be a rational nexus to the objective sought to be achieved by the legislation.
