Liquor Giants Challenge Maharashtra's MML Policy in Bombay HC

• United Spirits, Bacardi India, and John Distilleries challenge Maharashtra's MML policy in Bombay High Court.
• Petitions contest the August 7, 2025 government resolution, arguing it arbitrarily restricts MML manufacturing.
• Companies claim the policy creates a preferential class of license holders, excluding others similarly placed.
• They argue the policy violates Article 14 of the Constitution and imposes unjustified trade restrictions.
• The MML policy aims to boost excise revenue and promote local manufacturers, with an earlier challenge by ISWA.
