HC Raps FDA Over Navi Mumbai Restaurant Licence

The Bombay High Court has criticized the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for failing to revoke the licence of a Navi Mumbai restaurant despite the restaurant achieving 100% compliance with regulatory requirements.

The court's decision comes after the restaurant in question had taken steps to rectify the issues that had led to the FDA's initial decision to revoke its licence. However, the FDA failed to take the necessary steps to revoke the licence, prompting the restaurant to approach the High Court.

The High Court noted that the FDA had not provided any valid reasons for not revoking the licence, despite the restaurant's compliance with all regulatory requirements. The court observed that the FDA's inaction was unjustified and that the restaurant had taken all necessary steps to comply with the regulations.

The FDA had initially decided to revoke the restaurant's licence due to certain irregularities.

The High Court's decision highlights the need for regulatory bodies to take prompt and fair action in such cases.
