Headnote | Bihai Excise Act, 1915: Sections 42 and 43. Liquor shops-Right of vend- Mode of settlement-Government c policy-Grant of licence for five years-Licence subject to change in policy of Government-Change of policy to auction-cum-tender method- change in policy held valid and not violative of Article 14- Sections 42 and 43 held inapplicable to change of policy by Government- Principle of promissory estoppel held inapplicable. The State of Bihar took a policy decision to make settlement of liquor shops for five years subject to yearly renewal on fulfilling certain conditions in terms of change in policy. The said policy was approved by Cabinet on 25th January, 1990. Rules were amended accordingly and published in the official gazette. In pursuance to the said policy the appellants deposited six months licence fee for the first year of settlement on 7th March, 1990. The said policy was challenged and the High Court granted interim stay of the policy directing the Government to grant licence on yearly basis through public auction. In the meanwhile the State Government changed the policy under which the settlement of liquor shops was to be made by auction-cum-tender method for the next year and the new policy was approved by the Cabinet on 16th August 1990. The appellants field writ petitions in the Patna High Court challenging the new policy of auction-cum-tender for the year 1991-92 which were dismissed. In appeal to this Court, it was contended on behalf of the appellants that (i) the period of licence already granted cannot be curtailed without compliance of sections 42 and 43 of the Bihar Exc!se Act; (ii) Government's action was arbitrary and violative of Article 14 and the Govt. was estopped from adopting the new policy on the principle of promissory estoppel; and (iii) the impugned order was not a change of policy but was merely an executive order passed on the Tong assumption as if the High Court had directed the Government to review its policy. |
