Crag Martin Distillery Pvt. Ltd. vs Kerala State Beverages (Manufacturing ...

The Supreme Court addressed the validity of a new pricing condition imposed by the Kerala State Beverages Corporation for suppliers of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). The Court held that the Corporation's norm No. 3, which prohibited offers below Rs. 235/- per case, was valid and did not violate any prior agreements, as it was established after the last date for offers. The Court upheld the High Court's decision regarding the rejection of one brand's offer while allowing the other brand's inclusion based on its previous year's pricing, thus partially allowing the appeal.
