The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a judgment of the Kerala High Court quashing the Pudussery grama panchayat's order cancelling the licence of Pepsico India Holdings Private Limited for running its factory at Kanjikode in Palakkad. The panchayat cancelled the licence in 2003 stating that there was scarcity of drinking water in the areas near the company due to over-exploitation of groundwater.
