The plea that this amounted to an unreasonable classification and thereby violated Article 14 was rejected. While discussing the nature of the rights of people trading in alcohol, the Supreme Court wrongly applied the concept of \u201cres extra commercium\u201d yet again. This article seeks to highlight the consistent error in failing to understand the origin and nature of the Latin phrase res extra commercium and its consequent erroneous application. The article also submits that the plea under Article 14 was rejected without any reasoning. [Kerala liquor ban: Revisiting res extra Commercium &amp; police power by Arvind P.
