A PIL seeking prohibition on sale or dispensation of liquor in the departure area of domestic terminals of Indian airports has been rejected by the Delhi High Court on the grounds that it is not executable. The court also said it would be "completely difficult" to control what a passenger imbibes before entering the airport or after passing through security check. It had contended that as per the aviation rules, the reason for non-serving of alcohol on domestic flights was to prevent drunken behaviour by passengers. The ban has, thereafter, been in force for over two decades, it had said. (This article has not been edited by DNA's editorial team and is auto-generated from an agency feed.)
