TN e-cigarette ban challenged in HC, govt directed to reply in 3 weeks

Direct corroboration for this site’s Chennai litigation entry: reports the Madras High Court’s first hearing, with advocate Vivek Menon arguing the ban violated Article 14, the state given three weeks to reply, and petitioner Cary Edwards quoted by name. Also notes that, the same day, the Delhi High Court ruled the central advisory recommending an ENDS ban was “not binding on states.” Quotes AVI advocate Pingal Khan, “who has challenged the vape ban in neighbouring Karnataka.”
