The High Court had sought an answer- Earlier, the Delhi High Court had asked the Delhi government to present its stand on a number of petitions challenging the recovery of 70 per cent special corona fee on the price of liquor of all brands in the national capital.

Corona tax was imposed during lockdown 3.0 - Delhi government approved the opening of 150 government liquor shops on May 3, but a day after that the government imposed a special corona fee on liquor.
