Delhi High Court Quashes 2015 Maggi Noodles Criminal Complaints
The Delhi High Court has quashed two criminal complaints and related proceedings from the 2015 Maggi noodles controversy, citing erosion of the prosecution's foundation. The cases involved allegations of excessive lead content and misbranding regarding 'No Added MSG' claims. The court referenced prior rulings, including the Bombay High Court's lifting of the Maggi ban, Supreme Court directives for fresh testing by CFTRI, and outcomes from the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The decision ends prolonged legal action against retailers and manufacturers linked to the case.
