The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Thursday directed Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) to display the maximum retail prices (MRP) of liquor brands sold at its retail outlets.
Tasmac should issue a circular to all district-level officers to comply with the order and ensure that liquor was sold strictly at the MRP, the court said.
A Division Bench of Justices M.M. Sundresh and S. Ananthi directed that Rule 14 of the Tamil Nadu Liquor Retail Vending (In Shops and Bars) Rules, 2003, on fixation of retail sale price should be strictly followed and bills should be issued for every sale. Also, a counterfoil had to be maintained at Tasmac shops, the judges said.
