The ban was later reduced to 18 months. The company's appeal against the ban was rejected in December 2019 by a single judge of the Delhi High court who later on directed the company to approach the city tribunal for further relief.

AB InBev has argued that the ban has to be quashed as the company was not given adequate notice beforehand. The next hearing is on the 25th February, 2020, the order stated. 

An official from the Delhi Government said that it would continue to defend the ban. SABMiller that was launched by AB InBev in 2016 used to put duplicate bar codes on beer bottles supplied to the city retailers thus allowing it to pay lower tax levies.
