The licensees to a large extent, have only themselves to thank if they exceed in their bidding the figure which should return them a reasonable profit under normal conditions, and they are not therefore entitled to any reduction of fees as of right. The observance of this principle is more important because it must be remembered that each remission is likely to aggravate the evil and encourage speculative bidding in the hope that should the speculation turn out a failure, Government will not insist on full payment. A remission should not be granted merely because working at a dead loss has been actually proved. Each case should be dealt with on its own merits. Where for example, it is proved that the Collector has not fulfilled his duty in refusing to allow manifestly speculative bids and has failed to stop the bidding when a figure has been reached which, under normal conditions, might be expected to return a reasonable rate of profit to the vendor the question would be whether the action of the Collector was so flagrantly opposed to the principles enunciated from time to time by Government as to necessitate remedial action. Such action should not take the form of any promise of resettlement with the existing licensees. It can only take the form of a reduction in the amount of the existing licenses.\nNote.\nIt should not be very difficult for an officer in a contract supply area to realize the stage at which bidding becomes purely speculative. He knows the issues of spirit during the previous year and the cost to the vendor including duty, carriage, establishment charges and the like, and should thus be able to estimate the figure beyond which a prudent man would not bid. If after warning the bidder, that this point has been reached. The latter still wishes to take the risk no case for remission can arise. The case is however; different where exceptional reasons which could not at the time be foreseen operate adversely to the interest of the licensee but at the same time it is not the duty of Government to safeguard licensees from the effects of their own imprudence or ignorance.\nThe Payment of Fees", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 117 }, { "number": "131", "title": "131.

Instructions issued to the Chemical Examiner for Customs and Excise for the testing of the general denaturants.", "chapter": null, "content": "Specification for Light [Caoutchoucine]\n(1) Nature. - By \"caoutchoucine\" is meant the liquid obtained by the dry distillation of vulcanised rubber. By \"light caoutchoucine\" is meant the liquid obtained by re-distilling \"caoutchoucine\" and collecting that portion which passes over at or below about 200°C.\n(2) The specific gravity of light caoutchoucine. - The specific gravity, of light caoutchoucine at 60°F should lie between 0.835 and 0.860 referred to water as 1.000.\n(3) Boiling Test. - For the purpose of this test, 100 c.c. of light caoutchoucine should be redistilled in the pyridine testing flash (see specification for pyridine bases below). Under those conditions not more than 15 c.c. of distillate should pass over at or below 100°C. whilst a total (including the foregoing) of at least 70 c.c. should pass over at or below 200°C.\n(4) Absence of soluble constituents. - When 25 c.c. of light caoutchoucine are shaken with an equal volume of water in a stoppered graduated cylinder and due time is allowed for the liquids to separate again into two layers the light caoutchoucine should show no appreciable diminution in volume.\n(5) Neutrality. - The aqueous layer obtained from test (4) should show no marked acidity or alkalinity when tested with both red and blue litmus papers.\n(6) Limit of saturated hydrocarbons. - At least 70 percent of the light caoutchoucine should be soluble in concentrated sulphuric acid. For testing this 25 c.c. should be measured off into a tapped and stoppered separating cylinder of suitable capacity and sulphuric acid should be added, at first with great care and in very small quantities. After each addition of acid the cylinder should be shaken and cooled to avoid loss of volatile constituents. Sufficient acid must be used [usually about 50 c.c.] for the high coloured layer to become quite fluid so that it can separate readily from the upper layer of unattacked constituents. After a final thorough shaking and cooling the cylinder should be left for about three hours to effect complete separation of the two layers and the lower layer be then tapped off. The almost colourless upper layer should be again shaken with strong sulphuric acid until it appears free from soluble constituents (as judged by the colour imparted to the sulphuric acid) and separated as before after standing. It should finally measure not more than 7 c.cs. The acid used should be of specific gravity 1.84 and may be of commercial quality.\n(7) Freedom from water. - Light caoutchoucine should not contain any appreciable amount of water. Any officer engaged in drawing samples for test should certify on the bottle that he has drawn the samples from the bottom of the containing vessel where the water; if present, will be found. For this purpose he should employ a syphon tube of which the shorter limb reaches to the floor of the containing vessel. He should also assure himself that the sample is collected in a bottle free of moisture.\nSpecification for Pyridine Bases.\n(i) Colour -The colour must not be darker than that given by two cubic centimetres of deci-normal iodine solution dissolved in one litre of distilled water.\n(ii) Miscibility with water - 20 c.c. of the pyridine bases should give a clear mixture with 40 c.c. of water or else a mixture only so slightly opalescent, after standing for five minutes, ordinary newspaper type is clearly visible through a layer 15 cm. deep.\n(iii) Amount of water present. - From 20 c.c. of the pyridine bases mixed with 20 c.c. of caustic soda solution (density 1.4) at least 18.5 c.c. of the bases should separate, after having been repeatedly shaken together and allowed to stand.\n(iv) Titration. - Dissolve 1 c.c. of the pyridine bases in 10 c.c. of distilled water. Titrate with normal sulphuric acid until a drop of the mixture gives a definite blue spot on Congored paper (the blue colour should at once disappear). At least 10 c.c. of the normal sulphuric acid should be required to produce this reaction. (To prepare the Congored paper dissolve one gram of Congored in one litre of distilled water. Soak filter paper in this and then dry).\n(v) Cadmium chloride reaction. - Vigorously shake together 10 c.c. of solution of 1 c.c. of pyridine bases in 100 c.c. distilled water with 5 c.c. of a 5 per cent solution of dry fused cadmium chloride. A distinct crystalline precipitate should immediately result.\n(vi) Boiling point. - Distil 100 c.c. of the pyridine bases in the manner described below. At least 50 c.c. should distil over at or under 140°C and a total of 90 c.c. at or under 160°C.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 167 }, { "number": "187", "title": "187.

Instructions for blending and issue.", "chapter": null, "content": "(1) Blending - By \"blending\" the mixing of spirit with other spirits, and by \"reducing\" the mixing of spirits with water, is to be understood.\n(2) Blending and reducing - When spirits are \"blended\" and then \"reduced\", the operation must in no case be considered as one. In blending operations the Officer must see that the spirits are thoroughly mixed, and after sufficient time has elapsed gauge and prove them, any wastage being entered in columns 18 and 19 of Register No. 84. In reducing operations, after addition of the necessary quantity of water, the whole must be thoroughly mixed, allowed to rest and again gauged and proved, any wastage then arising being shown in column 18 alluded to above.\n(3) Gauging and proving - Gauging and proving of spirits, after either blending or reduction, should generally be performed the day following the operation, unless it be a Sunday; but when strong over-proof liquor is reduced to issuable strength 48 hours should, wherever practicable, be allowed to elapse before the gauge and proof are taken. In cases of emergency the above rule may be relaxed but gauge and proof shall in no case be taken until after the lapse of two hours.\n(3A) Reduction of spirit should be carried on in the cool hours of the morning; and for this purpose water should be got ready in the tank by the evening of the day previous to that of reduction.The hour at which water begins to be put in, as well as that at which the addition of water is completed, should both be noted in Register 84.\n(4) Use of testing instruments - To ensure uniformity in the use of testing instruments, both the thermometer and the hydrometer should be in the liquor when the readings are taken. When the mercury comes to rest between two divisions of the thermometer, the higher one is to be taken.The division of the stem of the hydrometer immediately beneath the surface of the liquor is invariably to be taken.\n(5) Account instructions. - Officer-in-Charge should take immediate account of all spirits received in casks and credit their books and the quantity so found both in gross and L.R gallons. As some wastage will necessarily result by shrinkage in bulk of liquor, when casks are vatted into vessels already containing liquor, the resulting mixture should be treated as a blend and the wastage shown as blending wastage.\n(6) Every Officer-in-Charge of a distillery or warehouse will be guided by the \"Tables for Conducting Reduction and Blending Operations\" issued from the Central Excise Laboratory, which contain full instructions for making the necessary calculations.\n(7) Gauging and proving are required in the following cases ;-\n(i) In a receiver, before spirits are passed into the warehouse;\n(ii) In a vat, before spirits are added to spirits already contained therein and also after addition and also when spirits are reduced with Water. In all cases the whole contents of the vat must be well mixed before proof;\n(iii) In a vat from which issues have been made, at the close of the operations of the day, to check the total obtained by adding up the quantities entered in the permits;\n(iv) Whenever other circumstances render it necessary or advisable to do so.\nNote. - No cask or vat in which spirit is stored is to be allowed to remain ungauged and unproved for a longer period than a fortnight.\nNote.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 225 }, { "number": "247", "title": "247.

It should then be allowed to lie for at least two hours in one position, should then be again rolled and then placed in such a position for another period of two hours as to expose another portion or surface to the action of the water. This should be repeated at least three times to that the whole of the surface may have been subjected to the action of the water for two hours. The weak liquor so obtained, which will, when the original liquor was 40° over proof, probably be found to be about 80° under proof, should be shown in Register 86, and should be utilized in reduction of strong spirit.\n(3) Until the operation is completed, the casks should be kept under lock and key.\n(4) A note should be kept of the number of casks emptied and grogged in Register No. 87.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 226 }, { "number": "248", "title": "248.

Inspecting Officers should see that these instructions are carefully carried out.\n(2) Every Inspecting Officer should make a point of examining samples of spirit from each storage, reduction and issue vessels after having the contents thoroughly stirred. Any spirit which, in the opinion of such officer is too dirty or discoloured for issue should be kept apart under seal, after a sample has been taken for transmission to the Chemical Examiner for Customs and Excise. Similar action should be taken by the warehouse Officer whenever he finds that the spirit in any vessels is too dirty or discoloured for issue and the fact reported on the same day to the Sub-divisional Officer or the Superintendent of Excise for orders.\n(3) When any spirit has been thus kept apart under the orders of any officer other than the Superintendent of Excise, the warehouse officer must report the fact on the same day of the Superintendent of Excise. That Officer should give immediate information in ail cases to the contractors and they should be asked whether the spirit should be returned for distillation at their expense or destroyed. If It is to be destroyed, the spirit must be gauged and proved before destruction, to make sure that none has been abstracted, and the Superintendent of Excise must personally see the spirit poured on the ground and certify in the warehouse registers that he has done so.\n(4) Failure on the part of a warehouse Officer to call attention to dirty spirit will be regarded as a serious neglect of duty rendering the Officer liable to severe punishment.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 227 }, { "number": "249", "title": "249.

If the licensee is illiterate, his thumb impression should be taken.\n(v) No home-brewing licences are to be issued to residents within municipal towns.\n(vi) As each book of licences is used up, or when the last licence for the village under a headman or in an Excise Sub-Inspector or Inspector's circle has been issued, the book will be returned to the office which issued it.The Excise Inspector who receives it, after noting receipts in his account (Form 95) will forward it to the Superintendent of Excise.\n(vii) The Excise Officers and village headman will send remittances of collections to the officer who issued the book of licence forms to them at least once a week:\n(viii) The copies of statements in Form 96 received from the excise officers and headman will be kept in the Sadar office in separate parts, village by village.\n(ix) If any licensee loses his licence before the close of year, he will pay a renewal fee of 50 paise, for a fresh licence, which will be issued from Sadar by Superintendent of Excise.\n(x) During the last week in March in each year the headman and other persons empowered to issue licences will collect all licences and give them to the officers who issued the books of licences. No licensee shall receive a new licence until he has either produced his old licence or renewed it under last foregoing rule.

In Government estates they should examine the rent-rolls of tahsildars and headmen and enquire particularly into the cases of those raiyats who might ordinarily be expected to brew fermented liquor but who have not taken out licences, though it must be recognized that these licences are optional and not compulsory. Any breach of these rules should at once be brought to the notice of the Collector. The Superintendent of Excise, the Sub-divisional Officers and the Tahsildar in Sambalpur are also expected to attend to these matters in the course of their tours.\n(xiv) The fees for home brewing licences in the above named districts are prescribed in Board's Rule 104, made under Section 90, Act II of 1915.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 263 }, { "number": "281", "title": "281.

When the Superintendent is satisfied that the drug is free from impurities and is of normal physiological effect, he will pass the stock as fit for issue. In case of doubt of any kind, the matter should be reported to the Excise Commissioner who may depute any responsible officer to adjudge the drugs.\n(d) For the purpose of issue the cultivator will keep his own men and a responsible agent, if he cannot attend personally. These men will attend the gola on the days and hours fixed for the work by the Superintendent. They will be liable to thorough search by the officer on duty when they come out of gola premises. If the conduct of any of the employees be considered unsatisfactory the fact will be reported to the Superintendent of Excise and Salt, who can stop the person at fault from doing any business in the gola.

Such persons shall again be searched immediately after completion of the search, if possible in the presence of the owner of the house or suspected persons. Thereafter, any article taken from them at the first search shall be returned.\nNote. - An Officer conducting a search under Section 14 of the Opium Act 1 of 1878 i.e., without a warrant may enter into any building, vessel or place only between sunrise and sunset. If it is necessary to make a search under this Act after sunset he must obtain a search warrant under Section 19 of the Act.\nNote.\n(3) The officer of the highest rank present, or if two or more officers are of the same rank the most senior officer present of that rank shall take command of the party.\n(4) Every Officer above the rank of a petty officer shall have with him a copy of the list of houses to be searched, taken from the register of information.The search need not be confined to the houses named in the list provided the officer making the search follows the provisions of Section 74 of the Excise Act (or Section 14 of the Opium Act in opium cases). The list need not be delivered to the recipients till the village where the searches are to take place is approached.\n(5) The petty officers and constables shall be distributed according to circumstances under the Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors present with the object that all may be kept as far as possible under the eye of some responsible officer.\n(6) The Inspectors and Sub-Inspectors referred to shall record the names of the petty officers and constables assigned to them and subsequently enter the same in their diaries for production in court, if necessary.\n(7) In case of distress, such as that of an isolated party being attacked, the alarm whistle shall be blown.\n(8) When an officer makes a search without a warrant in a case under the Bihar and Orissa Excise Act, he shall record on the counterfoil of Form No. 138 before making the search the grounds of his belief that an offence punishable under Section 47, Section 49, Section 55 or Section 56 has been, is being or is likely to be committed or abetted and that a search warrant cannot be obtained without affording the offender an opportunity of escaping or of concealing evidence of the offence.\n(9) Care must be taken not to select persons as search witnesses who are connected with the suspected persons or with the Excise Department.The presence of the panchayat, or headman, of a village shall be secured whenever possible. Under no circumstances may a spy or anyone of doubtful character be called as a search witness. The officer conducting a search must take precautions to prevent the possibility, on the one hand, of any articles being introduced into the house without the knowledge of the inmates and on the other, of any article being secretly taken out of the house while the search is in progress. The search of the house and the search of officers and others prescribed in Rule 2 shall be made in the presence of witnesses and, if possible, of the occupier of the house, or his representative. The search must be conducted so that the search witnesses may follow every step and witness the actual discovery of every article.\n(10) Officers conducting searches under the Bihar and Orissa Excise Act and the Opium Act must draw up a search list in Form No. 138 in the presence of the witnesses attending the search and, if possible of the person or persons who may reasonably be believed to have committed the offence. It should be very carefully and legibly written preferably in the vernacular and must be made out if possible, on the spot, immediately after the search is concluded. A separate list must be drawn up in respect of every house, etc., searched, but it is not necessary to draw up two search lists merely because excisable articles and opium are found in the same house. As soon as the search list has been prepared, the search witnesses must sign it. If any search witness is illiterate the list shall be read over and explained to him and his left thumb impression shall be taken on it.The suspected person whose property is seized or in his absence the person in charge of the house or place searched shall also be asked to sign or put his thumb impression on the search list and be given a copy thereof, if wanted. Should he refuse to sign the list, a note must be made to this effect which must be verified by the witnesses.\n(11) When an officer detains and searches any person upon whom or any vessel, etc., in or upon which he may have reason to believe any article liable to confiscation under the Excise and Opium Acts to be, the above procedure shall as far as possible be followed and a search list shall be prepared in Form No. 138.\n(12) All articles seized must, if possible, be securely packed and the packages sealed with the seal of the officer in such a manner that the impression is clearly legible, and that the packages cannot be opened without breaking the seals. Packing and sealing shall be done in the presence of independent witnesses who must sign the packages or place their thumb impression on them and of the person in whose possession the articles were found and the latter person shall be invited to place his signature, seal or thumb impression upon the packages, Should he decline to do so, a note must be made to this effect and certified by the witnesses.\n(13) If samples of articles seized be required they must also be taken packed and sealed in the presence of independent witnesses who shall sign the packages or put their thumb impression on them and of the person in whose possession the articles were found and the latter person shall be called upon to seal, sign or put his thumb impression upon the packages containing them. Should he decline to do so, a note must be made to that effect and certified by the witnesses.\n(14) Whenever any articles seized are not disposed of under Section 80 of the Excise Act (II of 1915) but are made over to the Police for custody under Section 81, or in the case of opium, under Section 20 of Opium Act (1 to 1878) a description of each package and of the seals thereon must be given in the list of such articles, which shall be prepared in Form No. 138-A in duplicate, one copy to be made over to the Police and the other to be retained by the Excise Officer. Both copies must be signed by both officers.\n(15) When excisable articles and opium in the shape of goods under the custody of the Railway or Steamer authorities, are reasonably believed to be illicit, they may be seized but a receipt must be given for the article in which must briefly be stated the cause of the seizure.\n(16) The provisions of Section 21 of the Opium Act I of 1878 and of Section 82 of the Excise Act II of 1915 in regard to the submission of reports of seizures and searches should be strictly followed by all officers conducting searches.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 310 }, { "number": "369A", "title": "369A.

It further provides that where a fine is imposed, the convicting Magistrate shall direct the offender to be imprisoned in default of payment of the fine for a term which may extend to six months, and such imprisonment shall be in excess of any other imprisonment to which he may have been sentenced.\"\n(2) In paragraph 12 of their Resolution No. 1095 E., dated the 8th March, 1900, the Government of India observed as follows:-\n'In the opinion of the Government of India, opium-smuggling, when detected, can best be dealt with by the imposition of both fine and imprisonment, so as to make both the person caught (who is in important cases generally a mere agent) and his principal share the penalty.'\n(3) The selling price of Excise opium varies from Rs. 17 to Rs. 35 a seer in Bengal districts. The price paid by the Opium Department to the cultivator for raw opium is Rs. 6 a seer. In Burma, a seer of smuggled opium is worth about Rs. 100. There is evidently therefore, a large margin of profit to tempt the smuggler.\nIn Burma, the Government is endeavouring in the face of great difficulties to check excessive indulgence in opium. If smuggling from Bengal is not discouraged by deterrent punishment, this task becomes almost insuperable.\n(4) In letter No. 2398-J.D., dated the 16/19th October, 1909, Government in the Judicial Department has issued the following orders on the subject to the Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs:-\n* * * * * it will be seen that in the cases quoted * * Magistrates ** have been content to impose a moderate fine, whereas in other Courts similar cases has generally been punished with rigorous imprisonment. In view of the high value of opium in Burma, and the prevalence of the offence of smuggling into that country, it is very desirable that when cases are detected deterrent punishment should be inflicted. I am therefore to request that the Public Prosecutor may be instructed to ask any Presidency Magistrate before whom such a case may be heard for permission to address the Court; in the event of the Magistrate convicting an accused, on the question of sentence. Opportunities will thus be obtained to press for deterrent sentences, and the Excise authorities will furnish the Public Prosecutor with a memorandum of information to enable him to convince the Magistrate of the necessity for such sentences. If after these steps have been taken an obviously inadequate sentence is imposed the Excise authorities will be asked to bring the matter to the notice of Government in order that the High Court may be moved for an enhancement of the sentence.\"\nNote. II - (1) In Circular No. 1969-F., dated the 8th March, 1919, Government in the Financial Department issued the following orders about inadequate punishments in excise prosecutions :-\nNote. II\n\"The notice of Government has been drawn to the large number of excise prosecutions in which inadequate punishment have been inflicted by the trying Magistrates.\n(2) The explanations furnished by these Magistrates show that the gravity of the offences is often not realized. In some cases where the offence has been committed with a deliberate intention of defrauding Government of its revenue, the Magistrates have awarded light punishments on account of the poverty or the old age of the offenders, while in many other cases they have awarded nominal punishments on the sole ground that the offences committed had not involved any loss of revenue to Government. The Lieutenant-Governor in Council observes that Magistrates commonly fail to appreciate the intention of the legislature in providing a heavy punishment for excise offences. The question of revenue is only one of the considerations which should influence the court and it must be understood that transactions in excisable articles are controlled by Government not merely with a view to protect the revenue but also to promote the well-being of the people.\nOffences in respect of cocaine are the most serious on account, not merely of the enormous profit obtained by the offenders, but also the moral and physical degradation which the drug produces in those who use it, and for this reason the legislature has provided a specially heavy scale of punishments for these offences. Next in importance are offences against the opium rules. It is a matter of common experience that the principals as a rule take no active part in the smuggling of cocaine and opium, but remain in the background, and the persons who are arrested and convicted are merely their agents or tools. In order to secure as far as possible the punishment of the principals as well as the agents, the combination of a substantial fine with a sentence of imprisonment is desirable in every important smuggling case, as the fine will probably be paid by the principal who would otherwise escape all punishments. Offences of illicit distillation of country spirit rank next importance to cocaine and opium, and their suppression by the infliction of deterrent punishment is very necessary.\n(3) The Lieutenant-Governor in Council desires that in determining the punishment to be inflicted for excise offences, trying Magistrates should bear In mind the distinction between technical offences, such as being in possession of an excessive amount of country spirit on the occasion of some festival, and the serious offences of illicit distillation and sale, where the intention is clearly to practise an illicit and extremely profitable trade. In the case of offences of the former class the plea of first offence, poverty or old age may properly be considered in mitigation of the penalty; but in the latter class of offences the infliction of light punishment on these grounds is merely an incentive to the repetition of the offence, particularly among the poorer classes who can realize what to them is a large profit by such offences as long as they are undetected.\n(4) Where the offenders are persons of low caste or aboriginals by whom imprisonment is not considered a disgrace, imprisonment for a very short term is not a deterrent punishment. Nor is a small fine which can be readily paid sufficient. The most effective punishment in such cases is a fine sufficiently heavy to suit the circumstances of the culprit with or without a substantial term of imprisonment according to the gravity of the offence. In all cases imprisonment should be awarded in default of payment of the fine.\n(5) The Lieutenant Governor in Council desires that Commissioners and District Officers will give their careful attention to manner in which the officers subordinate to them dispose of excise cases and arrange that this class of prosecution should be made over to magistrates of suitable standing. At the same time officers conducting excise prosecutions should be instructed to press for deterrent sentences in all but purely technical offences. In case an obviously inadequate penalty is found to have been imposed the District Officers should always take notice of the fact and should address Government with a view to moving the High Court to enhance the sentence, if such a course be deemed to be expedient.\nNote. II A - (1) In circular no. 1129-48 Excise, dated the 26th January 1923, Government in the Ministry of Education emphasised the orders contained in circular No. 1969-E, dated the 8th March, 1919, and issued the following orders about inadequate punishments in excise prosecutions:-\nNote. II A\nThe notice of Government has again been drawn to the large number of excise prosecutions in which inadequate punishments had been inflicted by trying Magistrates particularly in cases of illicit distillation, an offence which has been spreading rapidly during the current year, especially in the Chota Nagpur Division. As is well known this offence was encouraged by the non-co-operation propaganda of last year, but though the propaganda has decreased the offence is still persisted in, in particular by members of the aboriginal tribes. I am therefore, to invite the attention of all trying Magistrates to the orders contained in Mr. Sifton's letter no. 1969-E, dated the 8th March, 1919, and in particular to paragraphs 3 and 4 of that letter.\n(2) The Local Government consider it necessary that the excise authorities shall in all cases of illicit distillation place before the trying courts full information as to the circumstances under which the offence was committed and in particular should inform them whether the offender has any assets and whether the illicit distillation was carried out with a view to sale and if so, what profits have been made by the accused. In all cases in which profit has been made and in which the accused has any assets it is desirable that the trying Magistrate should be moved to impose a substantial fine in addition to a substantive sentence of imprisonment. For such offences substantive sentence of fine only or one week or two weeks imprisonment without fines appears to Government to be inadequate and as a general rule in such cases the imprisonment should not be for less than one month. In many cases inadequate fines are inflicted because the courts take into consideration the poverty or old age of the offender. But though these circumstances may suitably be taken into consideration it should be pointed out to the court that an inadequate fine is useless as a deterrent. In cases in which the accused has been previously convicted the sentence should be considerably enhanced. If any case arises in which in the opinion of the District Officer an inadequate penalty has been imposed he should consider the desirability of reporting the case to the High Court under Section 438, Criminal Procedure Code, with a view to the enhancement of the sentence or of addressing the local Government with a view to the High Court being moved to enhance the sentence.\nNote II B. - (1) In circular no. 3553-57-A., 'dated the 19th, April, 1927, Government in the Appointment Department emphasized the orders contained in circulars No. 1969-F. dated the 8th March, 1919, and No, 1129-48 Exc., dated the 26th January, 1923, and issued the following orders about the inadequacy of sentence imposed on conviction of offenders under the Excise and the Opium Acts:\nNote II B.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 330 }, { "number": "1", "title": "1.

No. 1129-48-Exc., the 26th January, 1923.", "chapter": null, "content": "(2) It is the settled policy of Government gradually to reduce consumption by steadily enhancing the price of alcoholic liquor and drugs, the non-medicinal use of which is permissible and by prohibiting the possession of drugs of which such use is not permissible such as cocaine. With every enhancement or prohibition the inducements of the illicit traffic naturally increase and can only be balanced by the penalties exacted from convicted offenders. This is specially the case with regard to drink because all the materials required for its illicit distillation are readily available throughout the province. There is also a wider aspect of the question. It is a matter of experience that practical impunity in the breaking of a particular law leads to a disregard for law in general and the whole tone of a district may be adversely affected by inadequate treatment of excise offence. Equally therefore, in the interests of temperance and in the maintenance of law and order illicit traffic in drugs and particularly illicit distillation must be steadily discouraged by the imposition of severely deterrent sentences on offenders.\n(3) Government have decided that henceforth offences under the Excise and Opium laws shall be tried solely by stipendiary Magistrates and should under no circumstances be transferred to Honorary Magistrates. Where there are two or more Magistrates with 1st class powers in a subdivision, the cases should not be given, except for special reasons, to a Magistrate with lower powers. Further the attention of all Magistrates should again be drawn to the Circular Orders quoted above which are still in force.\nI am therefore to request you to issue these instructions to all District Magistrates and to take steps to see that in all inspections of magisterial courts, enquiry is made to ascertain whether these instructions are being observed.\nNote II-C. - In circular letter no. 383-J, dated the 30th January, 1939, Government in the Judicial Department issued the following instruction, about the punishment in Excise and Forest cases:-\nNote II-C.\nIt has come to the notice of the Provincial Government that many subordinate courts in Bihar impose unnecessarily severe sentences particularly in cases under the Excise and Forest Acts. Punishment in such cases appear to be inflicted mechanically according to a fixed scale of sentences.\nI am accordingly to request you to instruct all Magistrates in your division that in assessing sentences due regard must be paid to the age and the previous antecedents of the offender, and also to the circumstances attending the commission of the offence itself.\nNote II-D. - In circular letter no. 242-J.R., dated the 13th April 1942, Government in the Judicial Department issued the following orders about punishment in Excise cases :-\nNote II-D.\n* Reproduced under Note II-C † Reproduced under Note II-B\nGovernment have reasons to think that the circular letter no.\n\t\t\t\t383 J*., dated the 30th January, 1939 has been interpreted\n\t\t\t\tpunishment of offences under the Excise Act, I am to explain that\n\t\t\t\tthe Circular letter was directed against the evil of imposing\n\t\t\t\tsentences mechanically according to a fixed scale, and was not\n\t\t\t\tintended to supersede the instructions contained in Circular\n\t\t\t\tletter no. 3553-57 A. † dated the 19th April, 1927 from the\n\t\t\t\tAppointment Department of Government in which the necessity of\n\t\t\t\timposing deterrent sentences to discourage illicit distillation\n\t\t\t\twas emphasised. Those instructions still hold good and I am to\n\t\t\t\trequest that all magistrates in your division may be informed\n\t\t\t\taccordingly.\nNote III. - Instructions regarding the procedure to be adopted in appealing against acquittals or moving for the enhancement of a sentence.\nNote III.\nIn Excise cases if a District Officer considers that the High Court should be moved to enhance a sentence of that an appeal should be filed by the Local Government under Section 417 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the acquittal of an accused person, he should with as little delay as possible address the Excise Commissioner forwarding the record of the case and the opinion of the Government Pleader and should at the same time send to the Divisional Commissioner a copy of the following papers:-His letter of reference, the opinion of the local Government Pleader, the Judgement of the Court, and the note, if any, of the Superintendent of Excise. If the Divisional Commissioner considers that the proposed motion or appeal should not be filed he should forthwith place his view before the Board of Revenue. The Excise Commissioner will record his own opinion on the matter, and forward the papers to the Board for consideration. The Board, if it thinks that the motion or the appeal should be filed, will address the Financial Department of Government.\nIt is to be observed that these instructions as to the channel of correspondence are not intended to affect in any way the discretion of the District Officer as District Magistrate to recommend to the High Court that a sentence be enhanced. Indeed, action under the provisions of Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is not frequently preferable to a motion by the Government Advocate under Section 439 (1) of that Code. As, however, the law officers of Government in the High Court do not in practice, appear at the instance of the District Magistrate in support of a recommendation that a sentence be enhanced, the District Officer should if he considers the appearance of counsel desirable forthwith communicate his views in that regard to the Superintendent and Remembrancer of Legal Affairs at the same time forwarding to that officer a copy of his report to the High Court\nThe Government of India have directed that no appeal under Section 417 of the Code of Criminal Procedure should be filed after three months. Preliminary correspondence and consultations must therefore be completed in time to allow the Local Government a sufficient margin to consult their own law officers and move the High Court before the expiry of the period of the three months now prescribed. In case of delays recommendation for filing an appeal should invariably be accompanied by an explanation of the circumstances which led to the delay. When this abbreviated period of limitation expires on a non court day the appeal should if possible be preferred on the first day on which the court re-opens.", "footnote": "", "is_definition": false, "sort_order": 333 }, { "number": "390", "title": "390.
