General20242 sections
This Act amends the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 to modify how confiscated vehicles are handled in liquor enforcement cases. Previously, seized vehicles could not be released on bail. Now, when the quantity of confiscated liquor exceeds prescribed limits, authorities can auction the vehicle before the final court judgment. The Deputy Superintendent of Police is designated as the competent authority to conduct these auctions, with court permission. This change streamlines enforcement of liquor prohibition laws in Gujarat by providing more efficient methods for dealing with confiscated vehicles when large quantities of alcohol are seized.
