Court directs to fix limit on serving liquor at bars

A Maharashtra state local court has directed the pub and bar operators to decide a limit on how much liquor should be served to their customers as some of their customers may use their own vehicles to drive back home afterwards. Court direction came during a hearing of the luxury car accident case involving a 17-year-old boy that claimed the lives of two persons in the early hours of Sunday.

The court remanded the three accused, an owner and two managers of different restaurants in police custody, in the case. The prosecution told the court that the bars owned or managed by the accused served liquor to the boy and his friends without confirming his age.
