Amended Rule/Section: Government Notification No. MIS 0425/C.R.82/Exc-2 under the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949 — published in Maharashtra Government Gazette, Extraordinary No. 225, Part IV-B, dated 24th June 2025 (Page 5, Line 22)
Type of Change: Corrigendum / Nomenclature Correction
What Changed: This is a corrigendum (official correction) to a prior Government Notification issued on 24th June 2025. The original notification, which ran across pages 1 to 5, contained a textual error on page 5, line 22. The error involved the incorrect naming of a subordinate rule. The original text referred to "Maharashtra Foreign Liquor, 1953" — an inaccurate title. The corrected version now reads "The Bombay Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953" — the proper official name of the rule. This is not a substantive amendment to the law or rules themselves, but rather a correction of nomenclature to ensure the correct regulatory framework is properly cited and referenced. The practical effect is that all future references to the licensing and regulation of foreign liquor under this notification will now correctly cite "The Bombay Foreign Liquor Rules, 1953" instead of the erroneous "Maharashtra Foreign Liquor, 1953," ensuring legal clarity and preventing confusion among excise officers, licensees, and legal practitioners interpreting and applying the rules.
