Delhi High Court Quashes 2015 Maggi Noodles Lead Content Cases
The Delhi High Court has quashed two criminal complaints related to the 2015 Maggi Noodles case concerning alleged excess lead content in the tastemaker. The court set aside summoning orders and all trial proceedings, citing that continuing prosecutions would be an abuse of legal process as the case's foundation had eroded. This decision follows earlier judicial rulings, including the Bombay High Court lifting the Maggi ban and Supreme Court-ordered fresh testing by CFTRI, rendering further prosecution unnecessary.
