Top court allows ban on smoking
The nationwide ban on smoking in all public places from October 2 will go ahead, with the Supreme Court on Monday refusing to stay the Centre’s notification in this regard.
A bench headed by Justice B.N. Agarwal, refusing to stay the May 30, 2008 notification, also transferred four petitions, including one each filed by ITC and Indian Hotels Association, against it in the Delhi high court.
“We are of the view that it is not a fit case for grant of interim relief. The prayer staying implementation of prohibition of smoking in public places is rejected... Let transfer cases be heard on November 18,” the bench said.
