The Delhi High Court upheld the FSSAI regulation enhancing the statutory warning size on pan masala packages from 3mm to 50% of the front-of-pack label. The decision came after Dharampal Satyapal Limited, manufacturers of Rajnigandha, Tansen, and Mastaba, challenged the regulation, claiming it was beyond the authority granted by the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
The court, led by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Manmeet Pritam Singh Arora, dismissed the plea, stating that the regulation met the test of proportionality and did not disproportionately impact the petitioners' rights.
