'Cannot by themselves...': Why Delhi HC dismissed Vimal Elaichi makers' plea against notice to Shah Rukh Khan, others
Delhi High Court dismissed the Vimal Elaichi maker’s plea challenging show-cause notices to brand ambassadors Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Tiger Shroff. The court said Maharashtra courts have territorial jurisdiction, as the notices concern alleged violations in the state.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a plea from the owners of Vimal Elaichi who sought to invalidate show-cause notices sent to Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Tiger. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration alleged that the advertisements misrepresent the products, specifically claiming they were surrogate advertisements for the banned Vimal Pan Masala.
However, Justice Swarna Kanta Sharma dismissed the petition due to lack of territorial jurisdiction, as the show-cause notice was issued by the Mumbai FDA and not the Delhi court. The court emphasized that the petitioner's business operations and the location of brand ambassadors do not confer jurisdiction on the Delhi High Court.
