There is no such rule that has been laid down anywhere, that a person belonging to Bihar can not drink and get licence in other state.

However, Liquor is a state subject and they can with a reasonable reason deny license to anyone not only just to person belonging to Gujrat.

Any outsider visiting Gujarat can buy liquor from the authorised liquor shops by showing his/her travel tickets and residence proof.

2) An outsider can get one liquor bottle or 750 ml in a week or 10 beer cans per week for a period of four week

3) no such rebuke restraining Bihar residents from drinking alcohol in Gujarat

Hi, the restriction is only limited to the state of Bihar not on the domicile people of Bihar .. You can obtain license without any prejudice of Bihar state licence

The liquor ban law of Bihar is applicable only in Bihar, being a state enactment and does not operates on Biharis residing outside Bihar in other parts of the country.

Challenge the illegal and arbitrary action of the state of Gujarat in the High Court.

Sir if the Gujarat excise department has some rule or statute that licence for selling liquor is only granted to a Gujarati then they will abide by that law and if not, then you have every right to do business there.

There is no such rule that a resident of Bihar is not allowed to sell or drink liquor in other states.

Hope my reply helps you.

Dear Client,

This all bullshit and unintelligent thing. Even such kind of objection is foolish. All u mentioned above is without any substance and idiotic.

No such discrimination is permissible .

Like Gujarat, the Bihar state also has imposed prohibition of liquor sales or consumption.

But there is no such rule prohibiting a Gujarat vendor to sell liquor to the licence purchaser while the sale is at Gujarat and for the consumption of the customer.

The vendor says it out of his ignorance
