In the event the manufacturers have a case that their activities are not covered by the notification issued by the state, they may approach the appropriate forum seeking redressal, it added.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday stayed a Madras High Court verdict quashing a May 2018 notification prohibiting sale, manufacture and transport of gutkha and other tobacco-based products in Tamil Nadu.
A bench of justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna stayed the high court verdict dated January 20.
"We are of the view that the petitioner (Tamil Nadu) has made out a case to stay the impugned judgment with regard to paragraph 13," the bench said.
In the event the manufacturers have a case that their activities are not covered by the notification issued by the state, they may approach the appropriate forum seeking redressal, it added.
