Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the constitutional validity of Section 30 of the Punjab Excise Act, 1914, which prohibits the employment of women and men under 25 in establishments serving liquor. The Court held that the provision was ultra vires Articles 19(1)(g), 14, and 15 of the Constitution of India, emphasizing that laws must evolve with societal changes. The judgment of the Delhi High Court declaring the provision unconstitutional was upheld, allowing for the employment of women in such establishments.
