Which of the following provisions is no longer part of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 66 (Externment etc. of notorious or habitual offenders), which let the Collector direct such offenders to leave the district, restrict their activities or intern them in a de-addiction centre, was deleted by the Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, 2018. The connected sections 67 to 72, including section 72 on absconding persons, were deleted by the Bihar Prohibition and Excise (Amendment) Act, 2022. Section 74 (power to arrest or detain without warrant), section 62 (premises liable to be sealed, as substituted in 2022) and section 40 (penalty for unlawful advertisement) remain in force.
