Indisputably, the petitioner who was applicant for the grant of Hotel Bar License, has never been convicted for any offence under the Act of 1950, the Opium Act, 1878 or the Rules framed thereunder or for any non bailable offence under any other law by a criminal court of competent jurisdiction and therefore, the petitioner's application was not liable to be rejected in terms of Rule 3(8) of the Rules. It is not disputed before this court that the Hotel Nirmal Place where the petitioner intends to operate Bar on the strength of the license to be issued by the competent authority, is owned and run by the petitioner. In the considered opinion of this court, merely because, the petitioner's son was convicted for offence under Sections 19/54 vide judgment and order dated 18.4.09 passed by the criminal court of competent jurisdiction for offence under Sections 19/54 of the Act of 1950 on the basis of the admission of the guilt, the petitioner cannot be denied
