Pictorial warning must on 85% space of tobacco packets, says Supreme Court

Tobacco products will continue to carry pictorial warning covering 85 per cent of the packaging space, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said.
 

The apex court, on January 8, had stayed the Karnataka High Court order quashing the 2014 government regulation that packets of tobacco products must carry pictorial warning covering 85 per cent of the packaging space.
 

A bench comprising Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra and Justice A M Khanwilkar on Tuesday made "absolute" its earlier interim order by which it had stayed the High Court order.
