Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside demand notices issued by the State of Orissa against M/s Utkal Distilleries Ltd. The court found that the respondent had complied with the licensing conditions by installing a rectification column for manufacturing IMFL, and the waste product generated was not addressed by existing rules. The court emphasized the need for clarity in regulations governing the liquor industry.
