The Supreme Court has advised Kerala government to follow Gujarat Model if it wants to completely prohibit liquor in the state and also directed government not close bars in Kerala till September 30th.  Gujarat state has totally banned alcohol and if Kerala wants to prohibit alcohol on the whole, it should follow Gujarat and should not allow liquor even five star hotels.

However, the Apex court left the decision to Kerala High Court to deliver its final verdict by the end of this month and slammed Kerala government for allowing liquor only in five star hotels. More 700 bars are likely to get shut tomorrow but the verdict getting postponed, owners are quite relieved with this.
