A liquor licence is a personal privilege, not partnership property, and cannot be treated as jointly shared without permission. If the licensed partner uses the licence for the firm, the arrangement amounts to an unauthorised transfer; if the unlicensed partner carries on the business through the licensed partner, it amounts to sale without a licence. In either form, the partnership is void ab initio and contrary to public policy, so a suit founded on such an illegal arrangement cannot be maintained. en-us Fri, 16 Dec 1949 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 21 May 2018 12:55:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=272842 A partnership to carry on arrack or toddy vending on a licence granted to only one partner is unlawful under the Madras Abkari Act and the rules framed under it.
