Five banquet halls had been served notices by the Corporation on June 24 informing their respective owners that their campuses will be sealed for flouting construction norms.

The banquet hall owners moved the high court challenging the order of the civic body, saying it was violative of the principles of natural justice.

Justice Rajesh Shankar, after hearing both the parties, held the notice issued by the civic body to be arbitrary and set it aside.

However, the Corporation can proceed afresh after allowing the banquet hall owners to explain their side of the story, the court held.
