The Kerala High Court on
Thursday upheld the State government’s decision not to renew the licences
of bars in two and three-star and other hotels even as it allowed a batch of

licences to four-star and heritage hotels. The judge said the proposal to
shut down bars in four-star and heritage hotels surfaced all of a sudden in the
liquor policy of 2014-15. The preferential treatment given to the bars in
hotels in five-star and higher categories could not be justified as well.
