Bombay High Court Questions FDA's Inspection of Mantralaya and High Court Canteens
The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspected canteens at the Bombay High Court and Mantralaya, finding two High Court canteens operating without FSSAI licences and issuing stop-business notices. The FDA rated the Mantralaya canteen 98% compliant, but the Bombay High Court questioned this, citing inconsistencies and ordering a four-lawyer team to reinspect. The court emphasized the need for impartial and uniform enforcement across government and private establishments. Hospitality bodies urged the FDA to follow due process before publicizing enforcement actions.
