“The showcause notice to the JW Marriott sought an explanation as to why its liquor licence may not be cancelled,” said Assistant Commissioner of Excise and Taxation R K Chaudhary.
“Through this notice, you are hereby given an opportunity of being heard…on August 2…to showcause as to why your liquor licence may not be suspended/cancelled under section 36 (c) of the Punjab Excise Act, 1914, as applicable to UT Chandigarh,” the notice said.
