https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=341858 Gujarat HC refused to quash FIRs against Daman-based liquor licence holders at the investigation stage, holding that alleged clandestine supply of liquor into Gujarat disclosed cognizable offences warranting inquiry. The Court considered that abetment and conspiracy provisions of the IPC can apply alongside a special or local prohibition law, and that police may investigate where material suggests such conduct. It found no statutory bar merely because the licences were held in Daman, and held that the case did not fall within the narrow category of matters to be quashed at the threshold. The applicants were left to pursue challenge at a later stage if the evidence remained legally insufficient. en-us Tue, 11 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 19 Apr 2017 07:04:37 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=341858 Gujarat HC refused to quash FIRs against Daman-based liquor licence holders at the investigation stage, holding that alleged clandestine supply of liquor into Gujarat disclosed cognizable offences warranting inquiry.
