Delhi HC upholds ban on manufacture, sale of gutka, pan masala - Video
|
Overview
The Delhi High Court has upheld a ban on the manufacture, storage, and sale of gutka, pan masala, flavoured tobacco, and similar products in the city, citing their direct and harmful impact on public health
The ban was initially imposed by the food safety commissioner but was later quashed by the high court in September 2022.
The Centre and Delhi governments appealed against the decision and a bench headed by Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma has now set aside the earlier decision and upheld the ban.
The court rejected objections raised by entities in the tobacco business against the ban, stating that there was no justification for the quashing of the notifications.
