Questions about Section 14

What does Section 14 of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act deal with?

Section 14 of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act is headed "Procedure for the grant of licence or permission".

How do I find court cases under Section 14 of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act?

In judgments and charge sheets this section is written several ways, and each form finds a different set of orders. These search the full text of every order eCourtsIndia holds, best matches first: Industries (Development and Regulation) Act 14, section 14 Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, section 14 of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act. Each opens the full list of orders on eCourtsIndia, where it can be narrowed by court, year and outcome.

What should I read with Section 14 of the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, and has it changed?

Its own text turns on section 11 (Licensing of new industrial undertakings), section 11A (Licence for producing or manufacturing new articles), section 13 (Further provision for licensing of industrial undertakings in special cases), section 29B (Power to exempt in special cases), so none of them can safely be read on its own. The rules and notifications made under it are where it actually bites, and there is one: most recently The Registration and Licensing of Industrial Undertakings Rules, 1952 (1952).
