💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has dismissed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) seeking a ban on tobacco sales and consumption near temples, stating that it's not appropriate to entertain the petition. The petitioner had alleged that tobacco products were being sold near religious structures, and sought directions to prohibit such sales to maintain sanctity. The court stated that if any violation of the Cigarette and other Tobacco Product Act occurs, the concerned authorities will take action.
