HC asks Centre to file status report on pleas seeking ban on illegal sale of drugs online

New Delhi, 15/3: The Delhi High Court Wednesday asked the Centre to file a status report on petitions seeking a ban on “illegal” sale of drugs online.

A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Subramonium Prasad listed the matter for further hearing on May 22 after the Centre’s counsel said a proposal for framing rules to regulate e-pharmacies was under consideration and some more time was needed.

The petitioner’s lawyer interjected the rules are being framed for the last 5-6 years but nothing concrete has been done yet.
