An order issued under Section 30(2)(a) in the interest of public health was treated as prima facie valid, supported by material on the harmful and potentially carcinogenic effects of the ingredients. The Court rejected objections based on natural justice, treating the order as quasi-legislative, and also rejected the challenge under Articles 301 to 304 because the measure regulated public health rather than creating trade barriers. Interim stay was refused. en-us Sat, 15 Sep 2012 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 13:06:34 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=196594 The Bombay High Court held that the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 is a comprehensive later enactment whose wide definition of food can include gutka and pan masala, and that the 2011 Food Safety Regulations validly prohibited tobacco, nicotine and harmful ingredients in food products.
