In which of the following case the Supreme Court of India observed “The Rules under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act regulate only manufacture of Ayurvedic drugs for sale and not for consumption, use or possession.”
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The observation was made in State of Bihar v. Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan. The Court distinguished rules controlling manufacture of Ayurvedic drugs for sale from State regulation of their consumption or possession as alcoholic beverages. This distinction allowed the drug-quality regime and the Bihar excise regime to operate in their respective fields, rather than treating a medicinal preparation as immune from regulation when used as an intoxicant.
