Poetic justice: Bombay HC refuses urgent relief to restaurant against FDA action over analogue paneer

Poetic justice: Bombay HC refuses urgent relief to restaurant against FDA action over analogue paneer The Bombay High Court on Friday refused urgent relief to a restaurant whose license was suspended for serving the banned ‘analog paneer’. [Udupi Swaad Restaurant v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.] The Court was approached by the restaurant challenging the suspension of its license by the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration. A division bench of acting Chief Justice Ravindra V Ghuge and Justice Gautam A Ankhad observed that restaurants cannot serve synthetic substitutes under the guise of dairy paneer without explicit disclosure to consumers. When the restaurant requested an urgent stay on the order suspending its license, the Court remarked the establishment must suffer temporarily. “Let the FDA reply come, suffer till then. You also need to suffer first as you have made people suffer by eating this. After FDA suspended the restaurant’s license on August 10, it declared the restaurant’s paneer sample unsafe and substandard. The restaurant argued that authorities failed to issue a mandatory improvement notice under the Food Safety and Standards Act (FSSA). It also raised grievance that the abrupt closure caused severe revenue and reputation losses.

West Bank teen killed as Turkey seeks Netanyahu warrant over flotilla raid West Bank teen killed as Turkey seeks Netanyahu warrant over flotilla raid A Palestinian teenager was killed in the West Bank as Turkey sought an international warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. The developments underscored intensifying regional conflict and mounting economic strain on Lebanon. A Palestinian teenager was killed in the occupied West Bank on Friday after a rock-throwing incident, as wider developments in the Middle East also saw Turkey seek an international arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the World Bank warn that Lebanon's brief economic recovery has ended. The developments came amid escalating violence in the West Bank, growing tensions over Israel's interception of boats trying to break the Gaza naval blockade in May, and fresh economic pressure on Lebanon following the latest Israel-Hezbollah war. The Palestinian Health Ministry said a 17-year-old Palestinian was killed and another man was wounded by Israeli settler gunfire after rocks were thrown in Sa'ir, north of Hebron. The ministry identified the teenager as Karim Sanad Raja Shalaldeh. His father told The Associated Press at the hospital that Israeli settlers had killed his son. The Israeli military said soldiers were sent to Sa'ir after Palestinians threw rocks at Israeli civilians who were in the area without prior authorisation.
