https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=336605 The Assam Excise Rules, 2016 explanation excluding highway stretches within municipal and similar local limits from the liquor-licence distance restriction was examined against the Supreme Court's prohibition on granting liquor licences along National and State Highways, including stretches within municipal limits. In that legal setting, the State could no longer permit licences on such highway stretches, and premises operating contrary to that mandate could not continue unaffected. Rather than striking down the explanation, the HC left it to the State Government to re-examine the provision in light of the Supreme Court's direction. No relief was granted on the challenge, and the matter was disposed of with a reconsideration direction. en-us Mon, 19 Dec 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 26 Dec 2016 09:07:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=336605 The Assam Excise Rules, 2016 explanation excluding highway stretches within municipal and similar local limits from the liquor-licence distance restriction was examined against the Supreme Court's prohibition on granting liquor licences along National and State Highways, including stretches within municipal limits.
