The government in the Indian capital, Delhi, has said a ban on women serving alcohol should continue because of the negative attitude and behaviour of men.
Last year, the Delhi high court struck down parts of a 92-year-old law that prohibited women from serving alcohol in bars and restaurants.
The ruling was welcomed by several aspiring female bartenders as well as India's Hotel Association. But before the ban could be withdrawn, the case was back in the courts.
And this time, the Supreme Court is due to rule on the issue.
The Delhi government argues that the city's men cannot hold their drink and that is why it is unsafe to allow women bartenders in pubs and restaurants.
