Bombay High Court Orders FDA to Compensate Pune Sweet Shop Over Licence Suspension
The Bombay High Court ordered the Maharashtra Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) to pay Rs 5 lakh in compensation to Pune's Gurunanak Dairy and Sweets after its food licence was suspended despite a 98% compliance score in a re-inspection. The court criticized the FDA's continued suspension as a "strange policy and perversity," noting the shop lost Rs 8.74 lakh during closure. The licence suspension was revoked, allowing the shop to reopen, with the court urging the FDA to act promptly on compliance reports.
