The Rajasthan Prohibition Act Repealing Act, 1981

This law officially ended alcohol prohibition across the entire state of Rajasthan, India, by repealing the Rajasthan Prohibition Act of 1969. Applying to all residents and visitors in the state, it matters because it transitioned Rajasthan from a dry state back to a regulated liquor market by reviving the Rajasthan Excise Act of 1950. However, the law ensured that any prior offenses, legal proceedings, fines, or penalties incurred under the old prohibition era remained valid and could still be prosecuted. Essentially, it legalized and regulated alcohol again while preserving ongoing legal actions from the prohibition period.
