Magistrate

Commissioner
Under the Mizoram Liquor (Prohibition) Act, as with most criminal and special laws in India, the power to grant bail is a judicial function. While 'Authorised Officers' (such as Excise Inspectors) have the power to arrest, search, and seize under the Act, they do not possess the judicial authority to grant bail. Bail is granted by a Magistrate (or a higher court) after reviewing the grounds of arrest and the nature of the offense. Therefore, the Magistrate is the only authority among the given options legally empowered to grant bail.
