New Delhi, July 13: Sources said that in a relief to Arunachal Pradesh and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Supreme Court had relaxed the 500 metre cap on liquor vends across the national and state highways there.
A three judge bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar relaxed the cap while noting that almost 50 per cent of the state revenue for Arunachal Pradesh came from the sale of liquor and 916 shops out of a total of 1011 shops have been affected by the 500 metre cap.
