HC says delivery of prohibited items a crime, takes a jibe at e-com platform

RAIPUR: CHHATTISGARH High Court on Wednesday rejected a petition that sought to dismiss a case registered against employees of e-commerce store ‘Flipkart’ and the courier company for selling a “lethal knife” that was used to commit a murder and loot a petrol pump in July.

A division bench of the high court observed that online delivery of the prohibited items too comes under the purview of criminal offence.
