online sale of liquor and its home delivery be legislated

India is the third largest liquor market in the world with a present value of $35 billion and further to see an exponential growth of 22% by 2022 — with market value reaching around $41 billion. “Only in desperate times that we see the government taking drastic measures to bring a profound change in policy, and that is exactly what may work in favour of the lobbyists asking to legislate the online sale of liquor and its home delivery in India.” The Supreme Court of India on 8 May 2020 disposed a Public Interest Litigation seeking directions to declare direct contact sales of liquor as unconstitutional and void, asking State and Centre to consider online sales of liquor to maintain social distancing and further avoid the spread of pandemic COVID-19. The Court declined to pass any adverse order in the petition and hinted the government to consider sale and purchase of liquor online. Furthermore, Madras High Court directed closing of Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation shops and permitted for online sale of liquor in the State until 17 May 2020 — in a petition against flouting of social distancing norms in Tamil Nadu post re-opening of liquor shops.
