The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the constitutional validity of Section 58 of the Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act, 2016, which empowers District Collectors to confiscate vehicles in liquor cases. The move comes after Bihar challenged a Patna High Court ruling that quashed the confiscation and auction of a seized SUV.
On Wednesday(11th Sept),The Supreme Court ordered the immediate release of a man granted bail by the Patna High Court but delayed by six months in jail. The bench criticized the lower court’s condition, emphasizing that any delay in liberty is unacceptable and that justice should not become a form of punishment.
