On Tuesday, the Kerala High Court reserved its judgment on the dispute of the public interest (Pil) submitted by the lawyer on September 18, looking for a stay in the sale of the Booker Award Arundhati Roy’s recently published book Mary Mary coming to me.
Although he claimed that he had no legal brands for health and did not publish and that it was a violation of 5 cigarettes and other tobacco products (ban on advertising and regulation of trade and trade, production, supply and distribution), which has occurred that a written law on the wrong effect of smoking in the book occurred.
During Tuesday’s hearing, the divisional bench consisting of the chief judge Nitin Jamdar and justice Basant Balaji orally noted that she would express her judgment on October 13. He added that the petitioner could turn to the control committee established under the law in this respect.
The petitioner advisor claimed that the renunciation of the responsibility given in the back of the book was not sufficient and that it should be published strikingly. The Center advisor said that in addition to the management committee, these complaints could be registered through the online portal established as part of the National Tobacco Control Program. These options should be tested, rather than directly approach the High Court in Pilla.
