The Supreme Court on Friday Oct 07,2016 stayed the operation of the Patna High
Court judgement quashing the Bihar government's law banning sale and
consumption of all types of liquor in the State.
A bench, comprising justices Dipak Misra and U U Lalit, issued notices to all respondents including some liquor manufacturers on whose plea the high court had held as illegal and unconstitutional the Nitish Kumar government's prohibition law and posted the matter for hearing after eight weeks.
Note
The Patna High court had on September 30,2016 quashed the notification banning consumption and sale of alcohol in the State, saying it was ultra vires to the Constitution.
The order was passed on a batch of petitions filed by the Liquor Trade Association and others, challenging the liquor law, brought in with stringent penal provisions.
