    Ghodawat Pan Masala Products v. Union of India

    A group-associated pan-masala business challenged Maharashtra restrictions on gutka, pan masala and flavoured tobacco. The Supreme Court addressed whether the products were legally treated as food and held that, under the relevant framework, only the central government could prohibit sale of a food item. The case is significant because it connected the group to a major dispute over public-health regulation and tobacco-related products.
