Orders
Summary The Gauhati High Court allowed the petitioner's writ petition challenging the rejection of her application to shift an IMFL Retail liquor shop license to a new location within Chirang district. The court held that Rule 294-A of the Assam Excise Rules, 2016 permits shifting of licensed premises within the same district, and the respondent authorities' rejection based solely on the license being granted through tender bidding was contrary to the applicable rules. The court directed the Commissioner of Excise to reconsider the petitioner's application within 60 days in accordance with Rule 294-A. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
