the sale of alcoholic liquor according to the terms of a license
theretofore regularly issued in good faith according to law until after the
final disposition of the case wherein an election result, indicating that
the sale of alcoholic liquor is prohibited, is contested. Any portion of a

alcoholic liquor has been prohibited in a political subdivision or precinct
in which the premises described in such license is located shall be
refunded. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to forbid or prevent
