Justice Nagarathna To Assess Father's Precedent In Industrial Alcohol Case; Check Details
(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Justice BV Nagarathna, one of the Supreme Court's nine-judge bench, is scrutinizing the distinction between 'industrial alcohol' and 'intoxicating liquor' in resolving a significant Centre-state dispute with substantial revenue implications. This review will serve as a litmus test for the accuracy of a 1989 ruling by a seven-judge bench, a panel that notably included her father, the then Chief Justice of India, E S Venkataramiah.
It is reportedly said that Justice Nagarathna will become India's first female Chief Justice in 2027. Her tenure as CJI, spanning 37 days from September 24 to October 29, 2027, will resonate familial legacy, reminiscent of her father's six-month term from June 19 to November 17, 1989.

With this, Justice Nagarathna's rigorous examination of the difference between intoxicating liquor, alcoholic liquor for human consumption, and industrial alcohol illuminates the complexities underlying regulatory frameworks delineated in the Seventh Schedule.
