(1) On receipt of the application, the licensing authority may make such inquiries for verification of the details stated in the application and also such other inquiries as it deems necessary. If the authority is satisfied that the conditions for the grant of the licence applied for have been complied with, it shall grant the applicant an appropriate licence.
(2) In fixing the quantity of alcohol while issuing the license under sub-rule (1) to any manufacturer, licensing authority shall satisfy itself about the requirements of alcohol of that manufacturer and if that authority is of the opinion, that the quantity of alcohol asked for is not in conformity with the Bonafide needs of the manufacturer, it shall either reduce or refix the quantity of alcohol as it may deem fit.
Comment Scope.- For understanding the import of Sec.6 the provisions in Sec.19 are not only accessible but provide material which must be considered in determining the scope of Sec.6. The nature of the restrictions that can be imposed are clearly spelt out in the two clauses of sub-section (2) of Sec.19. They clearly show that these restrictions relate (a) to the place where the manufacturing process may be carried on and (b) restrictions for ensuring the proper levy and collection of duty imposed by the Act. In the light of the above, it is not possible to understand Sec.6 as enabling something more being done by 32 way of control. The same reasoning must apply in interpreting the scope of rule 84 and the contents of the form of licence Form AL-a.
