JUDGMENT
All these writ petitions have been filed challenging an
order dated 09.04.2024 passed by the District Collector,
Thrissur, directing closure of all Toddy Shops, Beer & Wine
Parlours and Bars and prohibiting sale of liquor and other
intoxicants within the limits of Thrissur Taluk from 2 am on
19.04.2024 to 2 pm on 20.04.2024.
2. Since the matter in issue arose from a very same
cause of action, all these writ petitions are heard together and
being disposed of by this common judgment.
3. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the
petitioners in all these writ petitions and the learned
Government Pleader.
4. Sri.Thomas Abraham, the learned counsel
appearing for the petitioners in WP(C) Nos. 15828 and 15985
WP(C) No.15916/2024 & con. cases
..29..
of 2024, submits that the impugned order has been issued
contrary to Circular No.7497/A2/09/TD dated 23.04.2009
issued by the Government and the directions issued by this
Court on earlier occasions. It is further submitted that there
was no necessity for the District Collector to prohibit sale of
liquor by the FL-3 licensees and the licensed toddy shops
since no untoward incident happened in previous years other
than one occurred in 2013. According to the learned counsel
for the petitioners, Section 54 of the Abkari Act can be
involved only if there is a law and order situation or there is a
reasonable apprehension of breach of peace and public
tranquility and only if circumstances warrant so. It is further
submitted that no such situation warranting issuance of an
order exists and it is totally contrary to the judgment
rendered by the Division Bench of this Court that the
impugned order has been passed by the District Collector.
5. Smt.Daisy A. Philipose, the learned counsel
appearing for the petitioner in WP(C) No.15339 of 2024,
submits that the petitioner is running a toddy shop and any
order prohibiting sale of toddy will adversely affect the
business of the petitioner since toddy cannot be stored for the
WP(C) No.15916/2024 & con. cases
..30..
next day as it will become stale once it is tapped, which will
cause huge loss to the petitioner.
6. It is an admitted fact that "Thrissur Pooram" is one
of the biggest festivals in Kerala, in which thousands of people
including women and children participate. The District
Collector passed the impugned order so as to protect the law
and order situation and also for taking care of any untoward
incident that may happen during the festival time, disturbing
the conduct of the festival. It is a fact that the licensees have
made huge investments in carrying on the business of foreign
liquor and toddy. A prohibitory order against sale of liquor for
one or two days, especially with the object of maintaining
peace for public good and preservation of public order, may
cause loss to the petitioners. However, when there is a huge
gathering of devotees and non-devotees to watch the visual
and rhythmic delight offered, it is only common that many
untoward incidents may happen, which are not reported.
7. The District Administration has very clearly stated
that the impugned order prohibiting sale of liquor from 2 am
on 19.04.2024 to 2 pm on 20.04.2024 has been passed in
order to avoid any untoward incident and to maintain law and
WP(C) No.15916/2024 & con. cases
..31..
order situation. According to the learned counsel for the
petitioners, there was no untoward incident in the past few
years. However, it cannot be forgotten that the crowd that
gathers for the festival is unlimited. The District Collector,
while passing the impugned order, referred to certain
incidents reported by the Excise and Police Departments and
it is only apprehending such breach of peace, the impugned
prohibitory order has been passed.
8. Today, when the matter is taken up, both sides
submit that the main pooram festival is on 19.04.2024. The
impugned order prohibits sale of liquor from 2 am on
19.04.2024 to 2 pm on 20.04.2024. It should not be forgotten
that by the closure of toddy shops as well as liquor shops, the
petitioners will have to suffer a huge loss. However, as already
stated, the impugned order has been passed for the public
good and for maintaining peace and for preservation of public
order. I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned
order passed by the District Collector. Nevertheless, on a
consideration of the entire facts of the case and also
considering the fact that since the main pooram is on
19.04.2024 and there may not be much crowd thereafter, I am
WP(C) No.15916/2024 & con. cases
..32..
of the opinion that a slight modification of the time period
prescribed in the impugned order can be granted.
9. At this juncture, learned counsel appearing for the
petitioners in all these writ petitions submit that huge
amounts are being paid as licence fee for an year and seek for
a direction to the government for remission of licence fee for
19.04.2024.
Therefore, the writ petitions are disposed of, as follows;
a) The prohibited time period stipulated in the impugned
order passed by the District Collector as "from 2 am on
19.04.2024 to 2 pm on 20.04.2024" shall stand modified
as "from 2 am on 19.04.2024 to 10 am on 20.04.2024".
b) Petitioners are at liberty to file representations before
the government for remission of licence fee for
19.04.2024. On receipt of such representations, the
government shall consider the same favourably in
accordance with law.
