India becoming dumping ground: petitioner
|
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to the Centre seeking a ban on introduction of Genetically Modified (GM) crops in any form, whether by import or by manufacture in India till a regulatory framework is put in place.
A three-Judge Bench comprising Chief Justice Y.K. Sabharwal, Justice C.K. Thakker and Justice R.V. Raveendran issued the notice on a petition filed by Vandana Shiva seeking such a ban.
The petitioner submitted that while most countries were banning GM products India was being used as a dumping ground for multinational corporations. Vested interests and corporate houses such as Monsanto were encouraging the development of unhealthy and scientifically known to be dangerous GM Organisms disregarding the health, environment or future of the people.
