Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the validity of a notification issued by the Delhi Administration regarding Minimum Sales Figures (MSF) for granting liquor licenses under the Punjab Excise Act, 1914. The Court held that the notification was arbitrary and discriminatory against small manufacturers, violating Articles 14, 16, and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. Consequently, the Court declared the notification unconstitutional, emphasizing the need for fair and reasonable criteria in licensing policies.
