In July last year, LG VK Saxena had recommended a CBI investigation into Delhi Excise Policy 2021-22 after a report by Delhi chief secretary established prima facie violations of various acts and rules in addition to “deliberate and gross procedural lapses” to provide “undue benefits” to liquor licensees.
The Delhi High Court on Tuesday rejected a petition by French spirits major Pernod Ricard challenging the city government s refusal to renew its licence for sale of liquor in the national capital. Justice Prathiba M Singh said the writ petition was not maintainable and asked Pernod Ricard India Pvt Ltd to approach the appellate authority under the excise law with its grievance.
The Delhi government rejected Pernod Ricard's application while citing provisions that state that license should not be given to companies that employ people having a criminal background.
