Bombay High Court query on appeal for meat ad ban

-PTI/ The Telegraph

HC notes that while an ordinary person has option of switching off television when such an ad comes, it will have to look at issue on the point of law

Bombay High Court on Monday asked three Jain religious charitable trusts and a city resident practising Jainism why they were seeking to encroach on the rights of others by appealing for restrictions or ban on advertisements for meat and meat products in print and electronic media.

A division bench of Chief Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Madhav Jamdar noted that the issue falls within the domain of the legislature and it cannot frame laws and rules imposing bans.

The three trusts and the Mumbai resident said in their plea that their families, including children, were forced to watch such advertisements.

This infringed on their right to live peacefully, and the advertisements tampered with the minds of their children, the petitioners contended.

The high court raised questions on the prayers made in the petition.

What about violation of Article 19 (right to freedom of speech and expression) of the Constitution? Why are you (petitioners) seeking to encroach on others’ rights? Have you read the Preamble to our Constitution? It makes certain promises,” Chief Justice Datta said.

The bench noted that it may not have the jurisdiction to pass orders on the petition.
