HC refuses to stay Delhi govt’s special corona fee on liquor

New Delhi:  The Delhi High Court on Friday refused to grant an interim stay on the notification imposing a 70 per cent “Special Corona Fee” on the MRP of all liquor brands in the national capital.

A bench of Chief Justice D. N. Patel and Justice C. Harishnakar issued notice to the Delhi government seeking its response over a batch of petitions challening the May 4 order of the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government imposing the extra cost.

The court will now hear the matter on May 29.
