Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Maharashtra Prohibition Act, 1949, specifically Sections 23, 24, 65(a)(e), 73, 74, 81, 83, and 90, in relation to the sealing of liquor shops for illegal home delivery. The Court emphasized that the Licensing Authority acted within its jurisdiction under Section 54 of the M.P. Act when issuing show cause notices for license breaches. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision to reject the writ petitions challenging the sealing orders and interim measures taken by the authorities.
