"Food was being manufactured, packed and stored in unhygienic conditions, posing a high risk of contamination and compromising food safety," the FSSAI said. Hence, the regulator said the FSSAI licence has been suspended. Further, the FSSAI has asked the company to immediately cease all food business activities until it rectifies all deficiencies and comply with the rules to the satisfaction of the competent authority under the FSS Act, 2006.

New Delhi, The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has issued a recall order for a batch of 'Wonderland Raisins' manufactured by Sun Organic Industries Private Limited after regulatory testing found pesticide residues exceeding the prescribed safety limits.

According to the FSSAI, a regulatory sample of 'Raisins' (Brand Name: Wonderland Raisins), collected by the Central Food Safety Officer (CFSO) of its Northern Region Office, failed to meet the standards prescribed under the Food Safety and Standards (Food Product Standards and Food Additives) Regulations, 2011. The sample was declared unsafe by both the National Food Laboratory, Ghaziabad, and the Referral Laboratory at NIFTEM-K, which detected pesticide residues beyond the maximum permissible limits. Following the findings, the competent authority directed the company to immediately recall the entire batch of the product and comply with the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards (Food Recall Procedure) Regulations, 2017.

CBI books Anil Ambani, Reliance Capital in Rs 1,816 crore EPFO fraud case - Industry - 2 min read CBI books Anil Ambani, Reliance Capital in Rs 1,816 crore EPFO fraud case The agency alleged that the EPFO invested in RCL’s secured non-convertible debentures, on which the company subsequently defaulted on repayment. MUMBAI: The CBI on Saturday registered a cheating case against Reliance Capital Ltd (RCL), its ex-chairman Anil Ambani and unknown public servants over the alleged Rs 1,816 crore loss caused to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The agency alleged that the EPFO invested in RCL’s secured non-convertible debentures, on which the company subsequently defaulted on repayment. Earlier, the issue was settled before the NCLT, but recently the Enforcement Directorate (ED) shared its investigation finding of RCL’s fraudulent translations. Based on this, the EPFO inquired into the issue and subsequently filed the fraud case against Ambani and RCL with the CBI. A spokesperson of Anil Ambani said, “The FIR registered by the CBI pertains to Reliance Capital Limited. Mr Ambani served as a non-executive director/chairman of the board of Reliance Capital Limited from 2005 until November 2021, when the Reserve Bank of India superseded the board of directors of the company and appointed an administrator. Mr Ambani denies any wrongdoing, whatsoever, and reserves all rights available to him in law.” EPFO administered the Employees’ Provident Fund, Pension Scheme and Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme.

Market regulator SEBI has barred Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) and two of its top executives, Punit Goenka and Subhash Chandra, from the securities market after finding that ZEEL's Hyderabad land was mortgaged against loans availed by Essel Group entities without necessary corporate approvals. In a final order issued by SEBI's quasi‑judicial authority, ZEEL was restrained from accessing the securities market for two months, while Goenka and Chandra were barred for 12 months. The regulator also imposed a total penalty of INR 1.48 crore on these three entities- INR 30 lakh on ZEEL, INR 58 lakh on Goenka and INR 60 lakh on Chandra.

Delhi High Court restrains misuse of cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s identity

Delhi High Court restrains misuse of cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s identity The Delhi High Court has granted interim protection to former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, restraining individuals and online entities from using his name, image, voice, likeness, and other personality attributes without his consent, particularly using Artificial Intelligence (AI), deepfakes, and other digital technologies. Justice Jyoti Singh passed the order in a suit filed by Mr. Singh alleging widespread misuse of his personality rights through AI-generated images, fabricated videos, false social media posts, and unauthorised sale of merchandise bearing his name and likeness. According to the plea, several social media accounts had circulated AI-generated images and videos falsely depicting the cricketer in fabricated situations, including religiously insensitive content, violent conduct, vulgar videos created by using face-swapping technology, and attributing false statements to him. The suit also alleged that e-commerce sellers were commercially exploiting his personality by selling T-shirts, photo frames and stickers without authorisation. Singh is one of the most decorated, recognised, and globally renowned cricketers, who has brought many laurels to India, and represented the country across all formats of the sport for 17 years. It noted that his name, image, voice and likeness were exclusively his to commercially exploit, and deserve legal protection from unauthorised use. “I am of the view that Plaintiff (Mr. Singh) has made out a prima facie case for grant of ex parte ad interim injunction against the Defendants,” the court said in its July 29, 2026 order. “There can be no dispute that Plaintiff’s stature inherently grants him proprietary rights over his personality and associated attributes and gives him the exclusive rights to…
