Mohammed Mirza Noor lost his taxi licence with Leicester City Council in 2015 for plying for trade - picking up customers without a booking.

Noor - who admitted fraud by failing to disclose information - was also ordered to pay costs, including a victim surcharge of £1,467, said theLes Phillimore, the district council's portfolio holder for housing, community and environmental services, said: "This is a most satisfying result for us and demonstrates our commitment to ensuring anyone who provides false information to us will face the consequences.
