1. Question 1 · Gujarat Local Laws Practice Set 1

   Y lawfully consumes liquor in a neighbouring State where its consumption is permitted, and then drives back into Gujarat while still in an intoxicated condition. Which of the following is correct under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949?

   1. A. He contravenes the Act only if he is also found in possession of liquor within Gujarat
   2. B. He contravenes Section 24-1A, which bars drinking a medicinal preparation beyond the normal dose
   3. C. He commits no contravention because the liquor was consumed lawfully outside Gujarat
   4. D. He contravenes Section 24-1B, which bars entry into the State in an intoxicated condition
   Show the answer

   D. He contravenes Section 24-1B, which bars entry into the State in an intoxicated condition

   Section 24-1B provides that no person who has consumed any intoxicant (other than opium) or hemp in any place outside the State shall enter any territory of the State while in an intoxicated condition or under its influence. The lawfulness of consumption outside the State is no answer; Section 24-1A deals with medicinal preparations taken beyond the normal dose.

2. Question 2 · Gujarat Local Laws Practice Set 1

   Consider the following statements under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949: 1. "Household" under Section 2(19a) includes the domestic servants who reside and mess with the family. 2. An emergency permit under Section 40B shall not be granted to more than one member of a household at any one time. 3. A permit granted under Section 40B is non-transferable. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

   1. A. 2 and 3 only
   2. B. 3 only
   3. C. 1 and 2 only
   4. D. 1, 2 and 3
   Show the answer

   A. 2 and 3 only

   Section 2(19a) defines household as persons residing and messing jointly as one domestic unit but expressly excludes their servants, so statement 1 is wrong. The second proviso to Section 40B(1) bars an emergency permit to more than one member of a household at any one time, and Section 48A makes permits under Section 40B, among others, non-transferable.

3. Question 3 · Gujarat Local Laws Practice Set 1

   Consider the following statements regarding cancellation of licences under the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949: 1. A holder whose licence is cancelled under Section 54 for non-payment of a fee is not entitled to compensation or to a refund of any fee or deposit. 2. A licence cancelled under Section 56 for a cause other than those in Section 54 can be cancelled only after not less than thirty days' notice in writing. 3. On cancellation under Section 56, a part of the fee proportionate to the unexpired term, and the deposit, are refunded after deducting any amount due to the State Government. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

   1. A. 3 only
   2. B. 1 and 3 only
   3. C. 2 and 3 only
   4. D. 1 and 2 only
   Show the answer

   B. 1 and 3 only

   Section 55 denies compensation and refund of fee or deposit on cancellation or suspension under Section 54. Section 56(1) permits cancellation for other causes either on not less than fifteen days' notice or forthwith with reasons recorded, so statement 2 is wrong, and Section 56(2) provides the proportionate refund described in statement 3.

4. Question 4 · Gujarat Local Laws Practice Set 1

   Consider the following statements regarding Section 129A of the Gujarat Prohibition Act, 1949 (medical examination of a person suspected of having consumed an intoxicant): 1. If the person produced is a female, the examination and collection of blood shall be done by, or under the supervision of, an authorised female registered medical practitioner, with strict regard to decency. 2. If the person resists, the officer must abandon the examination, since it can be done only with consent. 3. Nothing in the section prevents the fact of consumption from being proved otherwise than in accordance with the section. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

   1. A. 1 and 3 only
   2. B. 3 only
   3. C. 1 and 2 only
   4. D. 1, 2 and 3
   Show the answer

   A. 1 and 3 only

   Section 129A(4) requires a female to be examined by, and her blood collected by or under the supervision of, an authorised female registered medical practitioner with strict regard to decency. Section 129A(3) makes it lawful to use all means reasonably necessary to secure production, examination and collection of blood, so statement 2 is wrong. Section 129A(8) allows consumption to be proved otherwise.

5. Question 5 · Gujarat Local Laws Practice Set 1

   Consider the following statements about the Gujarat Court-fees Act, 2004: 1. Schedule I prescribes ad valorem fees and Schedule II prescribes fixed fees. 2. Under Section 29, no order entitling a petitioner to a grant of probate or letters of administration is made until he files a valuation of the property in the form set forth in the Third Schedule. 3. A plaint in a suit for possession under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 is chargeable with one-half of the amount prescribed in the scale under Article 1 of Schedule I. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

   1. A. 1 and 2 only
   2. B. 1 and 3 only
   3. C. 1, 2 and 3
   4. D. 2 and 3 only
   Show the answer

   C. 1, 2 and 3

   Schedule I is headed "Ad valorem fees" and Schedule II "Fixed Fees". Section 29(1) requires the valuation in the form in Schedule III before an order for grant of probate or letters, and Article 2 of Schedule I charges a plaint under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act at one-half of the Article 1 scale. All three statements are correct.
