Bombay High Court Allows Reopening of Five MCA Eateries After FDA Suspension Withdrawn
The Bombay High Court directed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to withdraw its suspension of five restaurants operating on Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises after a fresh inspection found 88% compliance with food safety rules. The court criticized the FDA for taking a 'pedantic instead of pragmatic view' and vacated the suspension, allowing the eateries to reopen. The FDA will issue a fresh notice to MCA regarding its contract with the third-party operator before passing a reasoned order.
