Bengaluru: The South Chemists and Distributors Association (SCDA) has slapped a legal notice on SONY TV, TV programme 'Shark Tank India' and E Pharmacy Company Pharmallam for violating Drug and Cosmetics Act 1940.
The legal notice has been sent to 11 parties by the Supreme Court advocate and legal consultant Shiv Verma on Wednesday.
The notice claims that all directors and shareholders of Pharmallama as well as Sony Pictures Networks India are liable for prosecution as the entire business of Pharmallama and the model adopted for it, is wholly against the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and other applicable laws.
