GM food: notice to Centre
Legal Correspondent
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday issued notice to the Centre on
a petition seeking a ban on the import and sale of
genetically-modified processed food.
A three-judge Bench issued notice on the petition filed by Gene
Campaign and its president Suman Sahai challenging the August 23
notification granting exemption for such import. The petition
contended that the exemption granted in favour of the food stuffs
derived from living modified organisms would have adverse impact on
health and environment.
