Bottled water price: HC dismisses govt. appeal
The Hindu
Single judge had stayed govt. order reducing price from ₹20 to ₹13
A Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Tuesday dismissed an appeal filed by the Kerala government against a single judge order staying a government order reducing the price of packaged drinking water from ₹20 to ₹13.
The stay order came on a writ petition filed by the Kerala Packaged Drinking Water Manufacturers Association (KPDA), Kochi, and others challenging the slashing of the price of bottled water.

“Walk for Equality was aimed at creating a movement to crush the forces attempting to divide the people along religious line, said Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko. Concluding his 140-kilometre ‘Samathuva nadai payanam’ from Tiruchi to Madurai on Monday, Mr. Vaiko said, “The Hindutva forces are actively attempting to drive a wedge between communities through various incidents, most notably the Thirupparankundram deepam controversy, using identity-based politics to achieve their divisive motives.”
