Moot Court Problem

1.

Dashmesh Educational and Charitable Trust is a

registered Trust having its registered office at
Gurgaon, Haryana. The Trust runs a charitable
Hospital and Research Institute in the name of SGT
Hospital and Research Institute in Gurgaon, Haryana.
The SGT Hospital and Research Institute conducted a
study on the impact of junk food on the health of
children, the future leaders of this country. Some of
the relevant portions of the study conducted by SGT
Hospital and Research Institute are as follows:
A.

B.

among school children of Delhi, Mumbai,

Kolkata, Chennai, Gurgaon, Amritsar and some
cities of Southern India show that the prevalence
of overweight/obesity is high and on the rise. In
urban post-pubertal children of Delhi it
increased from 16% in 2002 to about 24% in
2006. It is high among the affluent class and
children of private schools compared to low and
middle income groups.
2.

Childhood obesity is one of the most serious

public health challenges of the 21st century.
Overweight children are likely to become obese
adults. As per WHO, about 44% of the diabetes
burden and 23% of the CVD burden is
attributable to overweight and obesity.
Overweight children are more likely than nonoverweight children to develop insulin
resistance, hyper-insulinemia, diabetes and
cardiovascular disease at a younger age, which in
turn are associated with a higher chance of
premature death and disability.

A.

To immediately ban junk food & carbonated

drinks in schools.

B.

To initiate measures to discourage the availability

of fast food, unhygienic food and foods with
unhealthy ingredients within 500 yards of the
school.

C.

To further direct respondents to develop a

comprehensive school canteen policy, which
emphasizes healthy nutrition among school
going children

D.

B a n j u n k fo o d & c a r b o n a t e d d r i n k s
advertisements in media and well as in the
television through any means.

WHO reports that Non-Communicable Diseases

are the leading cause of death world-wide:
Unhealthy diets especially the excessive
consumption of calories, salt, saturated fat and
sugar cause at least 40% of all deaths from NCDs
and approximately one quarter of all deaths
globally;

3.

The Supreme Court of India admitted the Petition. On

the Admission of his PIL, Mr. Chawla addressed the
media, wherein he stated that On one hand, children
are taught in the classroom about good nutrition and
the value of a healthy lifestyle, on the other hand we
continue to make junk food available to them. Our
children's eating habits are engrained in them from a
young age, so what are we teaching our children? At
what cost is it ok for junk food to be available to them
at school?

4.

When you have a sumptuous junk meal rich in oil you

feel drowsy and fail to concentrate. Over sustained
periods of junk food eating, blood circulation drops
due to fat accumulation. Lack of vital oxygen,
nutrients and proteins particularly can stale your grey

Over 80% of global deaths due to cardio vascular

diseases and diabetes occur in low and middle
income countries. NCDs also kill at a younger age
in these countries where 29% of NCD deaths
occur among people under the age of 60
compared to 13% in high income countries;
In India, as of 2008, about 53% of all deaths were
due to NCDs. The disease burden of NCDs is
expected to reach to 57% by 2020 as compared
to 29% in 1990.
C.

Deeply concerned about the results as revealed by the

above study, the Chairperson of the Trust Mr. Man
Mohan Singh Chawla filed a PIL in the Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India praying that the Hon'ble
Supreme Court may be pleased:

Studies conducted by many agencies have

established the link between consumption of
HFSS food and obesity. Numerous studies done

(brain) cells temporarily.
5.

It is the right time we change the way kids eat in

schools. Banning junk food and carbonated drinks in
Schools will set new standards for healthy foods that
will make our kids feel better, grow better and learn
better and it will improve the nutrition quality of
school meals and remove junk food from schools.

6.

Hence, this PIL is about making sure our children have

nutritious school lunches and breakfasts every day.

7.

He also pointed out that similar petitions are filed and

pending in different High Courts.

8.

A perusal of the writ petition would reveal that the

issue raised is of sale of, what is popularly known as
junk food in the canteens of the schools, resulting in
not only child obesity, but even other critical disorders
and diseases. It is highlighted in the writ petition that
various States in the United States of America have
already banned junk food sale in schools until at least
after lunch. There is a reference to a decision in
England where fast food take away joints near schools
were declared unlawful. A reference is also made to
the Tenth Conference of Central Council of Health and
Family Welfare, held on January 30, 2009, expressing
concern on the increasing consumption of junk food
by school children.

has carved out a category of food called 'junk food'

and hence has violated the statutory scheme of the
Act which has been opined by the Supreme Court in
the decision dated October 03, 2013 in CA No.96569/2008 Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Vs.
Santosh Mittal & Ors. and the decision dated October
22, 2013 in W.P.(C) No.681/2004 Centre for Public
Interest Litigation Vs. UOI & Ors.
11.

Students of Swiss Cottage School, Gurgaon

approached the Supreme Court to be made party to
the court proceeding on the Dashmesh Educational
Charitable Trust's plea for ban on sale of junk food and
aerated drinks in and around schools.

12.

Copy of Petition filed by Students of Swiss Cottage

School in the Supreme Court reads as follows:

The Union of India filed the Affidavit wherein it

accepted, in principle, that there is need to ban the
junk food in Schools. Union of India also informed the
Court that Food Safety and Standard Authority of
India, a statutory Authority constituted under the
Food Safety and Standards Act was looking into the
matter to decide whether guidelines needed to be
framed for making available healthy food in school
canteens as also what efforts need to be made to
promote healthy eating habits amongst children and
to discourage the consumption of junk food.
1. The Retailers Association of India, 2. The All India
Food Processors Association and 3. The National
Restaurants Association of India, filed applications
before the Hon'ble Supreme Court requesting the
Court to implead them as interested parties as any
decision of the Court in the instant matter would
affect their right to carry on trade/business. Counsel
appearing for the above three respondents argued
that there is no term such as 'junk food' and the Food
Safety and Standards Act, 2006 as per the definition of
food in Section 3(j) does not draw any distinction
between different kind of foods and that this Court

The Honourable Chief Justice of India

Supreme Court, New Delhi
May it please Your Lordship,
First of all we beg your indulgence for breaking legal
protocols and coming here today. We however plead
with Your Lordship, that we are doing so, solely moved
by the fact that the matter that this Honourable Court
is deciding today is not only of vital importance to us
as children and citizens of tomorrow, but also to the
health of the Nation and the cost to the National
Exchequer when this vast population will be stricken
by lifestyle diseases tomorrow. And when that would
happen we would have failed, because as children we
had not raised our voice today when we could and
should have done.
We therefore beg Your Lordship's indulgence again.
We most humbly submit:
A.

That we know that obesity among our peers is

increasing day by day.

B.

That since obesity and what follows thereafter,

like inability to do physical exercises, sports,
lethargy to study are killers of children's future,
because of the uncontrolled consumption of
junk food and beverages made available to the
kids, something drastic needs to be done to save
us, children.

C.

That everyone knows that the immediate cause

of obesity lies in the use of Mono Sodium
Gluconate (MSG) in the junk foods. Hundreds of
studies have been made in various parts of the
world and published in scientific journals

National Moot Court Competition 2015

directly linking serious lifestyle disorders and
nervous ailments with the use of MSG by young
victims.
D.

That research on this issue has been done

worldwide and very clear instances of loss of IQ
and other learning disabilities have been found
largely among children consuming junk food.

E.

That the most harmful effect that is identified

among the junk food using children, is a strong
addiction to such food leading the user into the
pit of dependence and slow death.

F.

That we understand that the food production

and distribution is a legitimate economic activity
and is a fundamental Constitutional right of the
promoter to be allowed to do it.

G.

H.

health care, through, inter alia, the

application of readily available technology
and through the provision of adequate
nutritious foods and clean drinking-water,
taking into consideration the dangers and
risks of environmental pollution;

That we genuinely would like to place before this

Honourable Court our big and serious
unanswered question, does the fundamental
right of an individual or a group to engage in
economic activity, also endows him with a right
to harm others with his product directly or
indirectly? Does the State have a
Constitutional obligation to defend the weaker
sections of its citizens like the children, who are
not grown up enough to make their own proper
choices of good food, for lack of adequate
information and guidance?
That the protection of the Rights of Children as
enshrined in the Charter of Rights declared by
the United Nations and was adopted by India,
especially Article 24, are being constantly
violated and that we take the liberty to place
before this Honourable Court Article 24 of the
Charter of Rights of Children:
a.

b.

Article 24: State/ Parties recognize the right

of the child to the enjoyment of the highest
attainable standard of health and to
facilities for the treatment of illness and
rehabilitation of health. States/ Parties shall
strive to ensure that no child is deprived of
his or her right of access to such health care
services.
S t a t e s / Pa r t i e s s h a l l p u rs u e f u l l
implementation of this right and, in
particular, shall take appropriate measures:

To ensure that all segments of society, in

particular parents and children, are
informed, have access to education and are
supported in the use of basic knowledge of
child health and nutrition, the advantages
of breastfeeding, hygiene and
environmental sanitation and the
prevention of accidents;
To develop preventive health care, guidance
for parents and family planning education
and services.
States/ Parties shall take all effective and
appropriate measures with a view to
abolishing traditional practices prejudicial
to the health of children.
I.

That the students are fully aware that this is a war

between the rich food processing companies and the
State that wants their revenue on the one side and the
Right of the kids who are the future of India, to live
healthy lives and the Right they have for protection
from predatory practices by the food companies.

J.

That the State is ignoring the fact that the harm done
to the health of the children today will only end up in
obesity and other lifestyle diseases which will cost to
the Nation many times more than the revenue that
the State is earning from the peddlers of death in the
name of junk which is also called 'Junk Food'. It is not
right for our Nation to be dictated by profit and
revenue generation alone which happens in some
western countries who follow an unmitigated
capitalist model and where the State cannot
intervene with pro-active policies.

K.

That under the Constitution of India, Art. 15 (3) the

State can make special provision for the protection of
children and that the same should also be invoked to
introduce such legislation or issue orders by the
Honourable High Court
PRAYER

L.

To combat disease and malnutrition,

including within the framework of primary
