The Madras high court on Friday restrained Tasmac from opening its retail vending shop and bar near NMS complex on GNT Road at Red Hills.
A division bench comprising Justices T. Mathivanan and K.B.K.
Vasuki granted interim injunction for two weeks and ordered notice to the state government and Tasmac on a public interest litigation from A. Liyahath Ali of Red Hills.
Petitioner’s counsel S.
Shankar submitted that in NMS complex on GNT Road at Red Hills there was a centre giving training to disabled children, a dance school and another centre for teaching music to school going children.
A church and a ration shop were situated nearby, besides a computer training centre, in which more than 300
students were studying.
Moreover, school and college students assemble there for boarding buses. Tasmac was taking steps to open its retail vending shop near the NMS complex.
If Tasmac was permitted to open its retail vending shop there, it will cause immense hardship and nuisance to students and public, Shankar added.
The govt plans to open elite Tasmac outlets at shopping malls across city to increase revenue from liquor sales.
