PIL on fake water bottles, medicines
The petition by Satish Chandra, filed through advocate Abhiuday Chandra, has contended that the “Central Pollution Control Board has found that the tap water in Delhi contains carcinogenic substances and the toxic quotient is five times higher than the WHO standards.” Concerned over risk to public health due to “pervasive menace” of fake water bottles and medicines, the Delhi High Court on Friday sought the Centre’s response on a PIL seeking implementation of anti-counterfeit measures like hologram seals and ISI marks.A bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Jayant Nath issued notice to the ministries of Health and Consumer Affairs seeking their replies within four weeks and listed the matter for further hearing on September 16.
