The court ordered the excise commissioner to deposit five lakh calls within a week. Jagran correspondent, Nainital. The Supreme Court commented at the trial of a petition that contested the renewal of six departmental stores of liquor near the Rishikesh Municipal Corporation boundaries and outside the border. The court said it is ironic that only a specific place is called a holy place, while the entire state is called Devbhoomi. Prima facie This is the highlight of negligence and abuse of power, so the excise commissioner must deposit five lakh calls into court within a week. If the court concluded that the actions of the Excise Commissioner were completely arbitrary, the funds would be given to the requesters, otherwise the amount would be returned to the commissioner. The court also ordered the commissioner to begin the renewal of the application immediately. The next trial will be held on April 15, the next trial in the case will be held on April 15. The petition of the requester Pawan Kumar and others was heard in the Bank of Chief Justice Goster G Narendra and Justice Alok Mehra. The requestor of the requester argued that the Excise Department, as part of the alleged policy, refused the renewal of six stores in Rishikesh, saying that they were located near holy places. In the previous hearing, the advocate of the requesters argued that licenses of bar, restaurant, resort and other retailers were renewed and that only their clients’ licenses were not renewed. The court said that the contradiction in this view is that if six stores are allowed to sell liquor, it will affect the holiness of the holy city. But the sale of liquor in bar and restaurant will not affect the holiness of the holy city. More contradictory and irony than that can be nothing. The advocate of the excise department said that the renewal of these stores was rejected on the grounds that it was located outside the border of the prohibited area. Therefore, the department chose to reject the renewal application. On this, the court expressed dissatisfaction and said it was the highlight of will. The Excise Commissioner has no right to declare any other area a banned area after declaring a region as a banned area.
