Repeated Convictions

30Forfeiture of license on repeated convictions.

If any licensed person on whose license two convictions for offences committed by him against this Act have been recorded is convicted of any offence which is directed by this Act to be recorded on his license, the following consequences shall ensue ; that is to say,

1

The license of such licensed person shall be forfeited, and he shall be disqualified for a term of five years from the date of such third conviction from holding any license; and

2

The premises in respect of which his license was granted shall, unless the court having cognizance of the case in its discretion thinks fit otherwise to order, be disqualified from receiving any license for a term of two years from the date of such third conviction:

Provided that nothing in this section contained shall prevent the infliction by the court of any pecuniary penalty or any term of imprisonment to which such licensed person would otherwise be liable, or shall preclude the court from exercising any power given by any other section of this Act of disqualifying such licensed person or such premises for a longer period than the term mentioned in this section.
