In a recent development, the Delhi High Court has extended an eight-week deadline to the Central government to formulate a comprehensive policy addressing concerns surrounding the online sale of drugs. Acting Chief Justice Mini Pushkarna emphasized that ample time had passed, with over five years elapsing since the publication of a draft notification. This decision was made during a hearing on a petition filed by Dr. Zaheer Ahmed, the South Chemists and Distributors Association (SCDA), and others, highlighting the government’s inaction on e-pharmacies.
