The Supreme Court today allowed liquor firms in Bihar to dispose of their stock outside the state. The court considered the submission of Confederation of Indian Alcoholic Beverage Companies that they are facing huge economic loss in view of the ban imposed in Bihar on sale of alcoholic beverages.
The Confederation said, the existing stock of liquor is of value of almost 200 crore rupees and the firms be allowed to dispose it of in other states where liquor is not banned.
The apex court agreed to its contention and granted time till 31st of July for getting rid of the existing stock.
