The Kerala High Court on Thursday observed that it was for the State government to take a call on increasing the number of liquor outlets in the State.
Justice Devan Ramachandran made the observation when the Counsel for Kerala State Beverages Corporation (Bevco) submitted that the government must be directed to increase the number of outlets to meet the need of a large number of consumers. Unlike in other States, only 270 Bevco outlets were now functioning in the State, causing overcrowding in front of the shops.
The court added that it could not “accede to the submission of the Bevco” as it was for the State government and the Excise Commissioner to take necessary action on the issue.
