In a big blow to the Central Drug Control Administration, the Madras High Court on last Thursday issued for the second time an injunction staying the order of the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) by centralizing the issuance of CoPP (Certificate of Pharmaceutical Products).
The court has issued the interim order acting on a petition filed by B Sethuraman, chairman of the Federation of South Indian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. The injunction will be in force until further orders.
The injunction of the court restricts all the CDSCO offices in south India in implementing the order of the Central Drug Regulator. The DCGI issued the order in last month directing all the zonal and sub-zonal offices of CDSCO to issue CoPP through their offices from October 1.
