Amended Rule/Section: New Notification — Bombay Prohibition (Termination of License due to passing resolution by Gram Sabha or representation by electors of municipal council/municipal ward) Order, 2008
Type of Change: New Notification/Order
What Changed: This is a newly issued government order establishing a procedure for termination of liquor licenses based on local community decisions. The order creates a mechanism whereby licenses can be terminated if either (a) a Gram Sabha (village assembly) passes a resolution demanding closure, or (b) electors of a municipal council or municipal ward submit a representation requesting termination of liquor sales in their area. This represents a community-driven prohibition enforcement mechanism, allowing local bodies to exercise control over liquor availability in their jurisdictions regardless of existing valid licenses.
