casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: W.P.(C) No. 616/2000 On August 23, 2001, the Supreme Court dismissed the public interest petition filed by Women's Action Research & Legal Action for Women challenging smoking hazards and cigarette smuggling. The Court noted that a comprehensive tobacco regulation bill ("The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Bill 2001") was already pending before Parliament's Standing Committee, where the petitioners could make their submissions including proposals for a victim compensation fund. The Court declined to monitor the matter further, finding it inappropriate to entertain the petition given Parliament's active consideration of the issue.
