The court, however, listed the matter for final hearing.<\/p>\n<p>E-pharmacies, during the hearing, reiterated the stand they took last time that they were like online food delivery platform Swiggy or app-based cab service providers Ola and Uber, and did not require a licence for the work they were doing.<\/p>\n<p>They said they were neither manufacturing, distributing or stocking the medicines for sale and were only &#8220;exhibiting&#8221; the drugs and therefore, they were not required to get a licence under the D&amp;C Act.<\/p>\n<p>One of the companies said that its premises was raided by government agencies and all they found was a office space with computers and no medicines were stocked there.<\/p>\n<p>Ahmed, in his PIL, has said that the online illegal sale of medicines would lead to a drug epidemic, drug abuse and misutilisation of habit forming and addictive drugs.<\/p>\n<p>It has further claimed that since there was no mechanism to control the sale of medicines online, this puts health and lives of people at a high risk and affects their right to a safe and healthy life under Article 21 of the Constitution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Online pharmacies are operating without a drug licence and cannot be regulated in the present regime. Unregulated and unlicensed sale of medicines will increase risk of spurious, misbranded and sub-standard drugs being sold,&#8221; the plea has said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre told the Delhi High Court Tuesday that it has informed all state drug controlling authorities about the interim order barring online sale of medicines and has directed them to take requisite action under the Drugs and Cosmetics (D&amp;C) Act and Rules.
