more-inThe latest order of the Supreme Court is self-explanatory and does not require any clarification by the State, said senior counsel Arvind P. Datar. In the original case filed by Pattali Makkal Katchi advocate K. Balu that led to the ban, Mr. Datar had represented the Tamil Nadu Bars and Club Owners Association. All licensed bars in municipal areas can now function as usual,” Mr. Datar said. Mr. Balu said the Supreme Court should have given him an opportunity to make his submissions before passing the July order. Saying that he plans to file a review or modification petition against the July order, Mr. Balu explained that the apex court order annuls the Madras High Court ban on re-opening State-run liquor shops on highways.
