Bombay High Court hearing PIL seeking banning advertisements of non-vegetarian foods.

#BombayHighCourt
CJ: First of all, tell us is it within our jurisdiction? you are asking High Court to frame rules and guidelines to ban something. HC being an organ of the state cannot state what is to be enacted.
It is for the legislation to decide.

#BombayHighCourt
CJ: As High Court we can only intervene when there is infringement of any right.

#BombayHighCourt
CJ: Milordship may not put ban on something. Today I am filing for limited purpose.

#BombayHighCourt
Petitioner: We are saying don’t promote non-veg food.
We are not saying there is no restriction on sale and consumption of food.

#BombayHighCourt
CJ: and what about violation of article 19 of the Constitution? Why are you encroaching on other’s rights?

#BombayHighCourt
CJ: there are two ways of looking at it, an ordinary man would say switch off the TV.
But we would look at it from the point of law. What you are asking has to be provided by law, here there is no such law which is why you are asking us to frame the law.
Petitioner: but there is also fundamental duty have compassion for living beings.
There is some order which has been paseed but I have not annexed it, I am seeking leave to amend.
Court: First day you come and ask for leave to amend. You filed this petition in July.
Why don’t you incorporate all orders, and now you seek to amend.
CJ: You think you can amendment just for asking? You file petition, then you seek leave to amend after court says PIL not maintainable?

You withdraw petition and file a fresh petition.
Petitioner withdraws petition.

CJ: Dismissed as withdrawn.
