Chivas-maker Pernod Richard moves HC against Delhi licence rejection

Senior counsel Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for the company, said neither the company nor its any employee was mentioned in the CBI chargesheet in the liquor policy case and the government had mixed up the people who were part of the chargesheet. "There is a south lobby of politicians and there is a man in Delhi called Vijay Nair. The south lobby gave money to Nair so that policy was in favour of the former," he argued, adding that "all the facts (taken note of by the Delhi government) are wrong as they have jumbled all the people's names in the chargesheet."
