Judgement Date : 1 December, 2021
THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. TUKARAMJI
WRIT PETITION No.31271 of 2021
ORDER: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
Learned counsel for the parties have informed this
Court that the controversy involved in the present case
has already been adjudicated on account of an order
passed by this Court in W.P.No.19928 of 2021 and batch,
dated 30.11.2021.
The operative portion of the aforesaid order reads as
under:-
"(55) The Division Bench of the Bombay High Court
has dealt with all the issues, similar to the issues
raised in the present writ petitions. In the considered
opinion of this Court, the question of interference by
this Court in respect of Notification which is bound to
save human lives cannot be faulted with in any
manner. The entire globe is facing COVID-19
pandemic and the death rate on account of gutka/pan
masala and other tobacco products is more than the
deaths which are taking place on account of pandemic.
The people are suffering from cancer and other
diseases and the restriction imposed is in larger public
interest and is a reasonable restriction and in no way
offends the right to carry on trade guaranteed under
the Constitution.
(56) In the light of the aforesaid, this Court does not
find any reason to interfere with the impugned
Notification and resultantly, the writ petitions are
2
dismissed. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending,
shall stand dismissed. There shall be no order as to
costs."
In the light of the aforesaid, the present writ petition
also stands dismissed. The judgment delivered in
W.P.No.19928 of 2021 and batch shall be applicable
mutatis mutandis in the present case also.
Let a copy of the order passed by this Court in
W.P.No.19928 of 2021 and batch, dated 30.11.2021, be
kept on record in the present case.
The miscellaneous applications pending in this writ
petition, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no
order as to costs.
