New Delhi: Liquor manufacturers from Bihar on Tuesday moved the Supreme Court seeking a clarification on its May 29 order granting time till July 31 to dispose old stocks of alcoholic beverages worth over Rs 200 crore outside the state.
A vacation bench of justices Ashok Bhushan and Deepak Gupta said that it would hear the matter on Wednesday after senior lawyer Salman Khurshid, representing the liquor manufacturers, mentioned the matter before it.

Khurshid told the bench that the apex court's May 29 order mentioned about time to destroy the stock but it did not indicate anything about its export.    
Earlier, the court had extended till May 31 the deadline of April 30 for disposing of old stocks, including raw material, fixed by the Nitish Kumar government which had imposed a ban on liquor in the state from April 1 last year.
