Bombay High Court Orders FDA to Lift Suspension of Five MCA Restaurants After Fresh Inspection
The Bombay High Court directed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to withdraw its suspension of five restaurants operating at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises in Bandra-Kurla Complex after a fresh inspection found 88% compliance with food safety rules. The court criticized the FDA for taking a 'pedantic instead of pragmatic' approach and warned of contempt proceedings against officials. While the suspension was lifted, the FDA will issue a fresh notice to MCA regarding its contract with the third-party operator before passing a reasoned order.
