NEW DELHI, JAN. 30. The Delhi High Court has ruled that no person can open a chemist shop in residential areas in the Capital. A full-bench comprising Chief Justice B.C. Patel, Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice A.K. Sikri directed the drug control authorities to ensure that license was given to only those, who would open a chemist shop in commercial complex. "The violation of civic laws are violation of the Article 21 of the Indian Constitution and the drug shops should abide by the local rules," said the court. "Before issuing or renewing the license to run a chemist shop, the drug authorities shall ensure that the area from where the shop is intended to operate is not residential area," said the order. Giving the order on the petition of DDA Market Chemist Association (an unregistered body), the Court said the authorities should ensure that the medicine shops in the Capital adhere to the provisions of the Municipal laws, Delhi Development Act and building bye-laws. The petition alleged that the DDA and MCD failed to act on the complaints lodged by the association against the shops opened in the residential areas in the Capital. -- UNI
