YOUR EXCELLENCY,
AS I AM PURSUING MY FINAL YEAR IN LAW AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THE DECISION OF MAHARASTHRA GOVERNMENT ON BANNED GUTKHA IS NOT IMPLEMENTING PROPERLY.IT IS STILL SELLING LIKE A HOT CAKE IN THE VARIOUS SMALL TOWN OF MAHARASHTRA UNDER THE DUE INFLUENCE OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES.IT IS CLEARLY A VIOLATION OF THE MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT DECISION.BEING A FINAL YEAR STUDENT OF LAW IT IS APPEALING TO ME THAT THE PANSHOP KEEPER HAS NOT A SINGLE FEAR OF LAW AND THEY ARE JUST PASSING A HUSH MONEY TO THE POLICE AND FOOD DEPARTMENT.PREVIOUSLY WHEN THE BAN WAS NOT IMPOSED THE MONEY IS GOING IN TO THE REVENUE OF MAHARASHTRA GOVERNMENT IN THE FORM OF TAX BUT NOW IT IS GOING IN TO THE POCKET OF POLICE AND FOOD DEPARTMENT IN THE FORM OF BRIBE.IT IS A FACT ON THE GROUND LEVEL,AS MY CONSCIENCE DOESN'T PERMIT ME TO FOR SUCH ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES DESPITE THE BAN.I HAVE CONDUCTED A SURVEY ON THE GROUND LEVEL BY VISITING A PAN SHOP AND CONDUCTING A SURVEY WITH A WHOLESELLER BY HIDING MY TRUE IDENTITY.PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR VALUABLE GUIDANCE ON THE ABOVE MENTIONED MATTER.

You can take up the issue with any of the Law enforcing authorities including the Lok Ayukta or can file a PIL.
