In a relief to alleged conman and fake doctor Munir Khan, the Bombay High Court has relaxed the bail condition prohibiting him from selling his self acclaimed miracle drug 'Body Revival' albeit permission from state government authorities.
Khan was arrested in 2010 for cheating and fraud under the Indian Penal Code and various sections of The Drugs and Magic Remedies (Objectionable Advertisements) Act. He was accused of making tall claims about 'Body Revival' which he claimed to cure cancer, heart blockages and so on.
On July 20, 2010, a sessions court granted bail to Khan but imposed a condition prohibiting him from manufacturing and selling his miracle drug.
Khan approached the High Court this year seeking relaxation of the bail condition. According to Khan, the licensing authority from Rajasthan, where his factory is located, on April 9 permitted him to manufacture and sell his medicines after he agreed to not exaggerate its benefits.
Justice R C Chavan, after hearing the arguments, recently relaxed the bail condition.
The judge clarified, "It, however, should not be interpreted as a permission granted by this court to sell the product and the sale would be subject to all the rules and regulations in force in the state of Maharashtra as well as in other states."
In his petition, Khan claims to be the proprietor of two manufacturing units in Kota (Rajasthan) and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh).
Several celebrities including Tabassum, Ruby Bhatia and others had endorsed and advertised on television Khan's miracle drug 'Body Revival' as a cure for all diseases.
