Bombay High Court Criticizes Maharashtra FDA Over Cadila Drug Stop-Sale Orders
The Bombay High Court granted relief to Cadila Pharmaceuticals Ltd, criticizing the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for abruptly stopping the sale and seizing stocks of some Cadila medicines without prior hearing. The court emphasized the need for the FDA to exercise its regulatory powers judiciously and follow due procedure, warning against using excessive measures for minor issues. The FDA acknowledged the court's remarks and agreed to revoke the stop-sale orders, issue show-cause notices, and allow the company to respond before taking further action.
