Whereas, counting of votes for the General

Elections to 01-North Goa Parliamentary

process of the General Elections in free and fair

manner and to maintain public peace, order and

Restaurants, Pubs, Food Joints, Shacks, etc.

serving or selling liquor in the entire North Goa

hrs. midnight.

Further, the licensed premises having license for

Bar and Restaurant are allowed to keep the

Restaurant open for serving food only and the Bar

counter shall be closed and no liquor shall be

allowed to be served or sold during the above

mentioned days and time. The owners of the

licensed premises having Bar and Restaurant shall

display a board in the premises stating that “No

Liquor will be served on the said days and time

and that only the Restaurant is open for serving

food”.

If any liquor shop/bar, pub or any establishment

serving or selling liquor is found violating this order,

during the prescribed period, shall be liable for

cancellation of license and the owner or offender

shall be also liable for penal action under Section

188 of Indian Penal Code, 1908, read with Section

30 of the Goa Excise Duty Act, 1964 and all other
