High Court Quashes Water Charges Against United Spirits

The High Court has told the government to take another look at how much United Spirits needs to pay for water used at its distillery.

The government had asked the company to pay over 400 crore rupees for water, but the court said this was not calculated correctly.

The court wants the government to figure out the real amount of water the company used for making liquor.

The company only uses a small amount of water from the river in the final product.

The court has told the company to pay more money while the government reconsiders the charges, and if they paid too much, they will get a credit for future bills.
