Sena corporator who thrashed doctors gets bail, ordered to stay in Goa resort

Sena corporator who thrashed doctors gets bail, ordered to stay in Goa resort Sena corporator who thrashed doctors gets bail, ordered to stay in Goa resort Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre will also be required to mark his attendance before the local police during the court-mandated stay in Goa. The High Court also granted bail to the four other accused in the assault case. The Bombay High Court on Friday granted bail to Shiv Sena corporator Ramesh Mhatre, who is accused of assaulting doctors at a municipal hospital in Maharashtra's Thane district. As one of the conditions for the bail, the court directed him to stay at a resort in Goa until the trial in the case begins. He will be required to mark his attendance once every week before the local police during the court-mandated stay in Goa. The High Court also granted bail to the four other accused in the assault case, which had triggered a massive outrage last month. Like Mhatre, they, too, have been directed to temporarily shift outside Maharashtra. The order was passed by a bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad.

‘Be realistic, we’re in India’: Bombay High Court quashes suspension of hotel licence by FDA over hygiene

‘Be realistic, we’re in India’: Bombay High Court quashes suspension of hotel licence by FDA over hygiene The Bombay High Court has suggested to the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to adopt a realistic approach, considering that ‘we’re in India’, and quashed its order suspending the licence of a four-star hotel in Navi Mumbai over hygiene. Giving relief to the hotel, a Bench of Acting Chief Justice (ACJ) Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad noted on Wednesday (July 29, 2026), that the FDA decision was based on the finding of two small insects. The Court said the “solitary finding regarding the presence of two insects’’ when viewed against the overall ‘satisfactory’ compliance report on hygiene, maintenance and operation did not justify the continued suspension of the licence. “We are in India. We have to take a realistic stand,” High Court said. The FDA on July 3 suspended the Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence of Park Inn by Radisson hotel, citing “serious lapses in hygiene, sanitation, food storage and food handling practices”, a day after its surprise inspection of the premises. The hotel then moved the High Court, submitting that the order was drastic and disproportionate. As per the FDA, the hotel had secured a 95% compliance score, but insects had been found in the kitchen area, resulting in the suspension. Government Pleader Neha Bhide told the Court on Wednesday (July 29, 2026), that there could be no compromise on food safety and hygiene. “There may be one insect or 10 insects, it doesn’t matter.
