The plea claimed that the use of liquor has caused deaths, health problems, rise in the crime graph and financial loss to the people. <br/><br/>The apex court found no merit in the plea and imposed 1 lakh rupees as costs on the petitioner, a Vishakhapatnam-based NGO. The court directed that the amount has to be deposited with the Legal Services Committee within four weeks.
