TN moves SC against HC order on liquor shops
Closure will lead to ‘grave’ revenue loss
10/05/2020, KRISHNADAS RAJAGOPAL,NEW DELHI
The Tamil Nadu government on Saturday moved the Supreme Court against a Madras High Court order of May 8 to close liquor shops in the State with immediate effect to maintain physical distancing till the COVID-19 lockdown is lifted or modified. It said an indefinite closure of liquor shops would lead to ‘grave’ revenue and commercial losses.
Highlighting that the ban order was passed the very same day the Supreme Court dismissed an identical call to close liquor shops across the country, the State contended that the High Court order amounted to judicial overreach.
