    SC upholds Kerala's Liquor ban
    Credits:
  • The Supreme Court has upheld the Kerala government's new excise plan binding the sale and consumption of liquor only in five-star hotels, thereby requiring other liquor bars to close down business.

    The SC bench said that even "unreasonable restrictions" by the State cannot be challenged by liquor traders.

    The judgment sets a judicial precedent for other states looking to ban liquor.

    Attorney General Rohatgi: Liquor ban reeks of bias
  • Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi told the SC that the ban only impacted the ordinary man and left out the affluent.

    Mr. Rohatgi questioned the State's liquor ban to exempt only five-star hotels from the ban.

    Mr. Rohatgi said the Kerala government should either follow the Gujarat example of total prohibition or none at all, or instead increase the tax for all.

    The argument against the ban
    Credits:
  • Most hoteliers lashed out calling the ban 'unfair'. They said that in its present form the ban consolidates all the profit from the liquor business in the hands of a few rich people.

    They contended that this will encourage the sale of illicit liquor manufacture and the ban won't address the issue of excessive alcoholism and would also, lead to increased drug abuse.
