Bombay High Court Stays FDA License Suspensions of Milk Suppliers Over Procedure
The Bombay High Court's Aurangabad bench has granted an interim stay on the Food and Drug Administration's suspension of licenses for several milk suppliers and vendors, citing procedural lapses. The court noted that the FDA did not issue improvement notices or provide hearings before suspending licenses, actions deemed 'drastic' without emergency justification. The court found the deficiencies cited were minor and outside the scope of Section 32 of the Food Safety and Standards Act. The FDA's authority to suspend without prior notice was challenged, and the case is pending further hearing.
