HC says ‘no’ to liquor shop near college

20/09/2019,MADURAI

The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday restrained the authorities concerned from putting up a Tasmac-run liquor outlet near a college and a de-addiction centre in Alagarkoil here.

A Division Bench of Justices T.S. Sivagnanam and R. Tharani allowed the petition filed by B. Saravanan, Principal of GMS MAVMM Polytechnic College, who sought a direction to restrain the authorities from putting up the shop.

The petitioner complained that the proposed liquor shop was being set up near a polytechnic college at Naickanpatti near Alagarkoil. There was de-addiction centre also nearby, he said.

Though a liquor shop was shifted from the area in 2017 following agitation from students and residents, steps were being taken to bring back the shop, he said.
