فعل formal C1 action
1

officially cancel a decision or right

to say in an official way that a law, rule, agreement, or permission is no longer valid

استعمال کا انداز: to revoke [something official]
عام غلطی:
Learners often use "revoke" for everyday situations where "cancel" is more natural, such as canceling a party or a movie ticket. "Revoke" is usually used for official things like licenses, visas, permissions, or laws. Another mistake is leaving out the object, as in *"The company revoked"*; you must say what was revoked, e.g. *"The company revoked my contract."*
ہم معنی الفاظ
