Orders
The Gauhati High Court allowed Sharif Hussain's writ petition challenging the rejection of his application to shift his IMFL retail liquor shop license to a new location within Nagaon District. The court held that Rule 294-A of the Assam Excise Rules, 2016 permits such shifting when a landlord refuses to extend a lease, and the excise authorities' rejection based solely on the original tender bid was contrary to the applicable rules. The Commissioner of Excise was directed to reconsider the application within 60 days in accordance with Rule 294-A. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
