    Court Decision Summary The Special Court under the Essential Commodities Act in Thanjavur discharged the accused Saiyadu Mohammed from charges under Sections 5, 7(1), and 24(1) of the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act 2003 and Sections 273 and 328 IPC. The court found that the prosecution failed to establish the essential elements of these offences—specifically, that the seized tobacco products bore proper warnings, that there was evidence of selling/distribution to minors or near educational institutions, or that the accused administered the products to anyone. Crucially, the court held that police cannot prosecute gutka/chewable tobacco offences independently; only the Food Safety Authority can initiate proceedings under the Food Safety Standards Act 2006.
