No need for non-veg, veg labels on drugs and cosmetics: Supreme Court

摘要

The Supreme Court has set aside a Delhi High Court order asking the government to amend the rules to classify all non life-saving drugs and cosmetics as vegetarian and non-vegetarian with 'V and 'NV' labels, respectively. The High Court had in November 2012 directed the central government to amend its rules to mark drugs and cosmetics with' V and 'NV' labels, in spite of the Centre's contention that it was not desirable to do so in public interest.
