The bench also questioned why the FDA acted with “undue haste” without fully analysing the legal position. NEW DELHI: The Bombay high court on slammed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA), warning of contempt action against officials after the department refused to lift the suspension of food licences of five restaurants at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises despite a fresh inspection finding them 88% compliant with food safety rules.“Tired of scolding the department and officers,” the division bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad said the FDA had taken a “pedantic instead of pragmatic view” despite the court’s earlier direction to reconsider the matter. The court ultimately vacated the suspension orders, allowing the five eateries at the MCA premises in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to reopen.The MCA had challenged the FDA’s decision to suspend the restaurants’ licences over alleged hygiene violations and issues relating to third-party operations. A fresh inspection conducted on Thursday found the eateries to be 88% compliant with food safety requirements.However, the FDA had initially continued with the suspension, citing the fact that the restaurants were being operated by M/s Shirke Infrastructure, while the licences were registered in the MCA’s name.On Saturday, the FDA told the court that it would issue a fresh notice to the MCA, give it an opportunity to be heard on its contractual arrangement with Shirke Infrastructure and then pass a reasoned order.Accepting the undertaking, the court said the restaurants could reopen since the latest inspection had found them compliant. “There is no provision in the law that prohibits the same,” the bench observed.The court recalled that it had, during the previous hearing, specifically directed FDA officials to apply their minds and take a pragmatic approach to the licence issue.“However, despite clearly saying this, the FDA has disobeyed our order and taken a pedantic view instead of a pragmatic view. We are tired of scolding the department and officers all the time. It is now time to pass stinging orders. We will issue contempt action against the concerned officers.

AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj questions BJP over BJP MPs visit to Sajjan Kumar’s residence (File photo/PTI) NEW DELHI: The AAP on Saturday questioned whether the BJP would take action against three of the party’s Delhi Lok Sabha MPs for attending the condolence meeting of former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, a convict in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.Kumar, 80, died in Delhi on August 20 while serving life imprisonment in a case related to the anti-Sikh riots.According to BJP leader HS Phoolka, an advocate who represented victims of the 1984 violence and their families, party MPs Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, and Yogender Chandolia visited Kumar’s residence to offer condolences following his death.AAP Delhi chief Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed that the BJP was “sympathetic” towards Kumar, alleging that the saffron party had “helped” the Congress in targeting Sikh families during the 1984 riots.”Some people do say that during the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi, local BJP/RSS leaders helped congress in targeting innocent Sikh families on the streets of Delhi. Is this the reason why top BJP leaders of Delhi are so sympathetic to Sajjan Kumar?” Bharadwaj posted on X.”Will @NitinNabin suspend these MPs of BJP who have backstabbed Sikhs?” he added, tagging the BJP national president.Bhardwaj also questioned the “silence” of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leaders on the issue. SAD leaders have repeatedly indicated that the party may join hands with its former ally, the BJP, for the upcoming assembly elections in Punjab, where the AAP is currently in power.His post came after BJP leader HS Phoolka, an advocate who represented victims of the 1984 violence and their families, strongly criticised the BJP leaders for visiting Kumar’s residence.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines“Strongly condemn the visit of 3 MPs Kamaljeet Sehrawat, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri and Yogender Chandolia to mass murderer Sajjan Kumar’s residence to offer condolences on his death.
