#Kerala HC allows bars in five-star hotels to serve liquor
Thiruvanthapuram, Mar 31 (IBNS): Kerala High Court Division Bench on Tuesday upheld the state liquor policy and stated that bars in five-star hotels in the state will be allowed to serve liquor.
This order implies that bars in four-star hotels and heritage resorts will have to closed.
 
The court has upheld this policy owing to the health of the people.
 
CM Oommen Chandy had, in August last year, announced that all bars barring 20 five-star ones will have to shut down. 
 
As per state directives, only five-star and heritage hotels were allowed to sell liquor, which also have to remain closed on Sundays. 
 
Challenging the directive, bar-owners then approached the Kerala High Court seeking cancellation of state order.
