Bombay High Court Orders Uniform Food Safety Inspections, Revokes Restaurant Licence Suspension
The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to enforce food safety standards uniformly across private and government-run canteens, following concerns over selective inspections. Inspections of canteens within the High Court found violations, prompting calls for parity in enforcement. Separately, the court revoked the suspension of a Navi Mumbai restaurant's licence after it was found fully compliant upon re-inspection, criticizing the FDA for delays in restoring licences and considering compensation for financial losses caused.
