AP High Court dismisses plea of Royal Challenge

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, July 5 :The AP High Court on Monday dismissed the interim plea of Skol Breweries Ltd, the manufacturers of Royal Challenge beer, to suspend the GO issued by the government to implement a new beer procurement policy.
The petitioner told the court that for the last 17 years the policy has been to place orders based on the consumption market share in the state.

The petitioner said the government has now decided that orders will be based upon the national market share. The petitioner alleged that the new policy was brought out to help United Breweries, who is the market leader if national level statistics are taken into account.
