Supreme Court Reduces Highway Liquor Ban Distance from 500m to 220m in Small Towns - (03 Apr 2017)

Supreme Court has partially modified its order banning liquor vendors in the vicinity of 500 metres on National and State highways. However it refused to give any relief to hotels and restaurants. Moreover it also declined a similar relief to Himachal Pradesh, saying the direction to reduce the distance from 500 metres to 220 metres on highways would be sufficient to cover the State’s demand.
