Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala government has filed an affidavit in the High Court on its new liquor policy. The government explained that it decided to go ahead with the liquor policy keeping in mind the social and health aspects of the people of the state.
The government said the right to sell liquor is not a fundamental right. The HC will hear the case on September 18.
Last week, the Supreme Court had questioned the logic behind Kerala government's liquor policy for limiting bar licences to only 5-star hotels. The state government is planning total prohibition in Kerala in 10 years.
