Apex court flags liquor tetra packs as ‘dangerous’

The court made the observations upon being shown tetra packs containing whiskey for sale during the hearing of a trademark dispute case

- 

What is this - a juice packet? Should liquor in tetra packs be permitted at all? the Supreme Court wondered Monday, noting that such packaging was “dangerous” and deceiving, as it heard a trademark dispute between two liquor giants of the country.

After a counsel produced the tetra packs of both companies, pointing out the similarities in branding of their products, a bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi expressed surprise that the government had allowed liquor to be sold in such packets and said it was a “serious issue”.
