The Supreme Court on Wednesday sought responses from the Centre and other authorities on a plea seeking an immediate ban on the sale of alcohol in packaging formats such as tetra packs and sachets, days after the apex court declined to entertain a similar petition challenging Uttar Pradesh’s new excise policy.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and Vipul M Pancholi agreed to hear the petition filed by the organisation ‘Community Against Drunken Driving’.
