Bombay High Court Urges Maharashtra FDA to Use Power Judiciously in Cadila Drugs Case
The Bombay High Court criticized the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for halting the sale and seizing stock of certain Cadila Pharmaceuticals medicines without prior notice, describing the regulator's actions as disproportionate. The court emphasized the need for the FDA to exercise its authority judiciously and provide companies a hearing before taking such measures. Following the court's remarks, the FDA agreed to revoke the stop-sale orders and follow due process by issuing show-cause notices and allowing responses before decisions.
