Section 50: Removal of Spirits, etc. after expiry of licence

Where a licence is cancelled or suspended or is not renewed after its expiry or its renewal is refused, the licensee shall not sell, use or otherwise dispose of any of the stock of spirit held by him, at the time of such cancellation, suspension, expiry or refusal and shall abide by the orders of the licensing authority regarding disposal of such stock by sale in auction, or otherwise among the licensee or by any other method so as to enable the licensee to get the price for such a stock. If the stock is found to be unsaleable or is not likely to fetch a price, the stock may be destroyed after obtaining the orders of the Commissioner to the effect. The licensee shall not be entitled to claim any compensation on account of such destruction of stock. The cost of the establishment employed at the distillery till the disposal of the spirits shall be recovered from the licensee.
