The Madras High Court Friday allowed firms involved in online sale of medicines to be impleaded in a petition seeking a ban on their business.
Justice R Mahadevan, who has granted an interim stay on sale of medicines online by those not having required licence, impleaded the petitioners, including New Delhi-based 1MG Technologies Private Limited, as party to the petition filed by the Tamil Nadu Chemists and Druggists Association (TNCDA).
He impleaded the petitioners after hearing arguments by senior counsels for them and also the TNCDA and adjourned the matter to November 9 for further hearing.
The Judge had on Wednesday granted an interim order restraining online sale of medicines, but clarified Thursday that his order was applicable only to those firms which do not have valid licences.
