                      ----------------------------------------------

                                    J U D G M E N T

The writ petition is filed mainly with the following

prayers :-

(i) “To declare that Rule 2 of the Foreign Liquor Rules

introduced on 29.3.1996 and amended on 5.3.1998 is

unconstitutional and unenforceable;

(ii) To call for the records leading to Exts.P4 and P5 notices

and quash the same.”

Since the occurrence is on 11.9.1997, Ext.P5 is quashed, in the

light of the judgment in Sunil v. State of Kerala (2006(2) KLT

851) and the writ petition is allowed.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
