Signalling the return of happy hours for tipplers, the Supreme Court paved the way on Tuesday for states to denotify highways passing through municipal limits to allow liquor vends to resume business. A bench of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justices D Y Chandrachud and L N Rao dismissed a petition challenging a March 30 order of the Punjab and Haryana high court, which had upheld the Chandi garh administration's decision to denotify stretches of highways passing through the city so as to permit liquor vends to resume sale.
