The Bombay Prohibition (Gujarat Amendment) Act, 1963

General196311 sections

This Act amends the Bombay Prohibition Act, 1949, to strengthen laws against the consumption and possession of intoxicants within the state of Gujarat. It updates the definition of alcohol preparations to include liquid forms and introduces new rules regarding medicinal alcohol and the possession of "rotten gur" or jaggery beyond a government-specified limit. The legislation also clarifies the powers of officers to destroy illegal equipment like earthen pots on trees and modifies permit requirements for temporary residents. By refining these regulations, the government aims to better control the production, sale, and consumption of prohibited substances to maintain public order and health.
