Supreme Court relief for Kerala bar owners.

The Supreme Court has stayed the licence cancellation of Kerala bars till September 30. The SC tells the Kerala High Court to hear bar owners' plea challenging prohibition, expeditiously.

The Kerala govt banned the sale of alcohol everywhere except five star hotels. The government has said state-run liquor stores, where men queue up for their daily fix, will be phased out at a rate of 10 percent a year for the next decade.

Bar owners who have taken the government to court say if there is an alcohol ban, tourists will start opting for other regional destinations - perhaps the beaches of nearby Goa or Sri Lanka.
