Gutka ban: UP govt files affidavit in HC

The government's affidavit came in response to a PIL filed by Indian Dental Association seeking ban on pan masala and gutka in UP.

The government informed the court that it had already issued notification in this regard.

However, the bench comprising Justices Amar Saran and Anurag Kumar stayed the further hearing of the PIL till any order is passed by the Supreme Court regrading ban on gutka.
