Digital Desk: The central government issued notices to celebrities Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Ajay Devgn regarding their Gutka company commercials in response to a contempt petition, as per PTI's report on Saturday.
The government's counsel advised the court on Friday that the Supreme Court was considering the identical case and recommended that the current petition be dismissed.
The court set May 9, 2024, as the date of the next hearing in response to this update. Additionally, it was disclosed to the court that Amitabh Bachchan sent a legal notice to a gutka manufacturer for airing his advertisement after his contract with them ended.
The central government was previously instructed by Justice Rajesh Singh Chauhan's bench to address the petitioner's concerns, according to the PTI report. The petitioner had called for action against honourable performers and dignitaries who supported gutka businesses. As stated by the petitioner, nothing was done in response to his October 22 representation to the government.
As a result, the central government's Cabinet Secretary received a notification from the High Court in response to the contempt petition.
On Friday, the High Court was notified by Deputy Solicitor General SB Pandey that Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, and Ajay Devgn had received show-cause notices from the Center.

Here is what SC said on Tamil Nadu's Gutka and Pan Masala Ban
Citing concerns about public health, the Supreme Court in April of this year reversed a January Madras high court ruling that had lifted Tamil Nadu's ban on the sale of gutka and pan masala.
The Commissioner of Food Safety indicated that the items' health dangers were the reason behind the initial state-wide prohibition. Tobacco dealers and producers, on the other hand, rejected the state's request, claiming that only the Parliament had the right to impose a permanent ban and that the state administration lacked that ability. "Ban is not the answer," said senior counsel Abhishek Manu Singhvi, who was speaking on behalf of the tobacco dealers. You might go to court over food standards.
