The Supreme Court on Tuesday sought an application of the Uttar Pradesh government for an application challenging the direction reported to the food vendors with a Kanwar visit, which was to display the QR code sticker, which would reveal the ownership details of the restaurant and other compliance when scanned.
A bench of Justices MM Sundresh and NK Singh asked the state to file their answer in a week and on July 22 settled the case for the next hearing.
Although the lawyer present for Uttar Pradesh demanded two weeks to file an answer, senior advocate Shadan Farit, who appeared for the applicants, said the journey would end in the next 10-12 days.
The application cited news reports that the state administration had issued instructions to make it mandatory for eateries to display the QR code. It also mentions “25.06.2024 issued by the UP Chief Minister” Press Note “and said” it clearly asks to be clearly displayed during the journey for shop keeper names “.
The application stated that similar instructions were also issued last year to display the names of owners outside the shops along the Kanwar Yatra route, but stayed by the Supreme Court.
The latest instructions, it said, “There is a violation of privacy rights located below the apparel of ‘legitimate license requirements'”.
The argument stated that “the required license is a self-contained certificate, although disclosing the owner’s name, displayed in a place inside the premises where it can be accessed. To display a general-shaped license to cover this requirement, or not to showcase the name of other employees on the billboard, or not to showcase the name of other employees on the billboard. Give it. “
