No compensation or refund claimable for cancellation or suspension of license, etc. under this section. - When a license permit or pass is cancelled or suspended under clause (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) of Section 36 or under Section 37 the holder shall not be entitled to any compensation for its cancellation or suspension nor to the refund of any fee paid or deposit made in respect thereof. NOTES Under Section 40 of this Act the right of an Ex. Licensee or lessee whose license/lease has been cancelled or suspended for some period under Section 36 or 37 of this Act, has been cur· tailed from asking for any refund, recovery, compensation or adjustment of the fee paid in lieu of license or lease or any other amount deposited required by the provisions of the Act. Since claim to refund of fees or any other money deposited under the provisions of the Act in lieu of the license or lease cancelled or suspended under Section 36 or 37 has been barred by the statutory provisions of this Act under Section 40, no civil suit for recovery/compensation of such fees/money is maintainable. Provisions of Section 40 of the Punjab Excise Act empower the authorities to forfeit all the fees or money deposited in lieu of the license or lease were challenged. However, the same were held not to be ultra vires by the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
