Analysis and Conclusion:
Courts generally recognize that possession of illicit liquor without a license constitutes an offense under excise laws.

The legal emphasis remains on strict regulation of liquor trade, with licensing being a prerequisite for lawful possession and sale. Cases also clarify that certain substances like methyl alcohol may not fall under intoxicating liquor definitions, impacting licensing obligations. Overall, possessing liquor without a license is a criminal offense, but bail is often granted considering the circumstances INDHC_CGHC010262222017, Mithun VS State of Madhya Pradesh - Madhya Pradesh, Bombay Oil Mills Industries VS Excise Inspector - Kerala.
