GIRRAJ PRASAD Vs. EXCISE COMMISSIONER UDAIPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) IN this writ petition, the petitioner has challenged the order dated December 4, 1980 (Annexure III), by which, he has been called upon to deposit Rs. 7085. 05. This amount, as per the notice, is alleged to be due on account of the excise revenue in relation to his licence of 1975-76 for country -liquor of shop Bamanwas.

(2.) THE learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no amount is due in the petitioner, and the demand is without authority of law. in addition to it, it was argued that coercive proceedings of attachment and sale have been taken by the Excise Authority, and therefore, he is entitled to claim protection of his property by getting a writ issued from this court under Article 226 of the Constitution.

(3.) EVEN now, the petitioner should approach the District Excise Officer of the area concerned, in case there is no demand as he has asserted in this writ petition.
