Headnote | Liquor: State and National Highways - Liquor vends - Road accidents - Drunken driving cases - On 15st December 2016, in State of Tamil Nadu v. KBalu, certain directions were passed by this Court for stopping grant of licences for sale of liquor along the national and state highways and over a distance of 500 meters from the outer edge of the highway or a service lane alongside and 1st April 2017 was fixed as the date for phasing out existing licences - Interim applications filed for extension of time for compliance in certain cases or modification or as the case may be recalling the judgment delivered by this court - Plea that it was not appropriate for this court to prescribe a fixed distance of 500 metres since the topographic and geographical conditions of each State are distinct which is why excise rules across the country prescribe varying distances from the highways for location of liquor shops - Held: The menace of driving and resultant fatalities or injuries are not confined only to national highways - Where an excise rule which has been formulated by a state government provides for the maintenance of a specified distance from an institution or amenity what this postulates is that no licence can be granted at all by the State Government within that distance - The state has a discretion on whether a licence should be granted under its enabling powers - No individual can assert a right to the grant of a licence - The directions issued by this Court did not breach any norm in the nature H of a prohibition nor did they operate to lift a prohibition imposed by law - The effect and purport of the direction is that in the interest. |
