Indian Dental Association of U.P. State and Another v. State of U.P. and Another, PIL No. 19126 (2012).
The Indian Dental Association, a public interest group, brought a case seeking to compel the U.P. state government to enforce the ban on tobacco and nicotine in food products, particularly in gutka and pan masala. The group argued that regulations, passed by the Central government under the Food Safety and Standards Act, which banned the use of tobacco and nicotine in food products should be enforced by the U.P. government. The court held that the U.P. government should enforce the regulations or show cause before the court why they are not enforcing the ban against tobacco in food products.
