Question and options
Who may grant the licence referred to in section 23(1) of the Himachal Pradesh Excise Act, 2011?
The State Government by notification
The Collector only
An Excise Officer acting solely by virtue of that designation
The Financial Commissioner or the Collector
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - The Financial Commissioner or the Collector
Section 23(1) requires a licence granted by the Financial Commissioner or the Collector, as the case may be, so neither authority alone is the full answer. Section 23(2) limits sale to the place specified in the licence. Section 23(3) requires licence authority before a person may allow consumption at a public place.
