Intro:

The Goa bench of the Bombay high court today dismissed a petition filed by an NGO against actor Amitabh Bachchan accusing him of violating the anti-tobacco law.

Justice Nelson Britto dismissed the petition filed by the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), an anti-tobacco group which had moved the court against the megastar and three others.

NOTE had objected to the roadside hoardings on the Margao-Mapusa national highway which showed the actor smoking a cigar. The hoardings, displaying a still picture from the film Family, were put up in Goa from December 25, 2005 to January 1, 2006.
