The License Officer shall, upon disapproving any application submitted under the provisions of this article, refund all fees paid in advance to the applicant; provided, that the applicant is not otherwise indebted to the City. When the issuance of a license is denied and any action instituted by the applicant to compel its issuance, such applicant shall not engage in the business for which the license was refused unless a license be issued to him pursuant to a judgment ordering the same.
