Sale of unexpired medicines permitted

he Madras High Court on Wednesday ordered the removal of seals placed on three pharmaceutical godowns, linked to the fake drugs scam, by the Inspector of Drugs and Inspector of Police from Kodungaiyur in March this year.

In an order, Justice N Paul Vasanthakumar directed the Inspector of Police, Kodungaiyur station and the Drug Inspector, Perambur Range, to remove the seals put up by them in the said three business premises in the presence of the representatives of the petitioner and permit the petitioners to sell drugs/medicines, for which the expiry period was not over and which were not identified as spurious medicines.

The court also permitted the petitioners to sell the unobjectionable drugs after getting clearance from the Drugs Inspector concerned.

However, the court observed that the objectionable drugs could be kept separately, either on the premises of the petitioners or at a separate place or the same could be taken away by Drug Inspectors for its custody with them.

Besides, the court also ordered de-freezing of petitioners bank accounts.
