MUMBAI: Bombay high court has directed the State Education Department to instruct all the educational institutions in Maharashtra to display boards outside its premises on the ban on sale of cigarettes and tobacco products within 100 yards of it.

A division bench of Chief Justice Mohit Shah and Justice M S Sanklecha on February 256, 2014 also directed that "such instructions shall be issued well in time" so that the boards are displayed by all educational institutions before the next academic year begins.

The judges heard a public interest litigation by advocate Dinar Sohoni saying Rule 3 of the Cigarettes and Other Products (Display of Board by Educational Institutions) Rules 2009 is not obeyed by almost all educational institutions. Rule 3 states that educational institutions shall display a board at conspicuous places outside its premises, prominently stating that sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products is strictly prohibited within a radius of 100 hundred yards and is punishable with a fine which may extend to Rs 200.

Sohoni's petition said after he came across the Central enactment in relation to selling of cigarettes and tobacco product, on March 2, 2013 he wrote to 21 schools and and received response from only three. On May 6, 2013 he wrote to education ministers Rajesh Tope and Rajendra Darda but received no reply from them. He then wrote to the vice-chancellor of the Mumbai University on May 8, 2013 and received a reply from the NSS Coordinator But when he sought details of how many colleges are obeying Rule 3, he did not receive a reply. Since he exhausted all efficacious remedies, he moved HC.
