Reconstitution Restrictions under Abkari Act and Rules - No partnership reconstitution is permitted if any partner is an abkari defaulter or has dues, as mandated by Section 3(1) of the Abkari Act and Rule 13C of the Foreign Liquor Rules.

Analysis and Conclusion:
The reconstitution of partnerships under Kerala Abkari laws is tightly regulated. Reconstitution is prohibited if partners have dues or violations related to liquor laws, particularly under Section 3(1) of the Abkari Act and Rule 13C. Proper procedural compliance, including reporting and settling dues, is essential for legal reconstitution and license validity. Unauthorized or unreported changes can lead to license denial, penalties, or legal disputes. Courts consistently emphasize adherence to statutory provisions to ensure lawful partnership reconstitution and licensing processes.
