After Bombay HC rap, FDA withdraws orders against Cipla, MCA eateries

After Bombay HC rap, FDA withdraws orders against Cipla, MCA eateries MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Saturday withdrew two enforcement orders after the Bombay high court pulled up the regulator over its handling of separate cases involving five MCA eateries and a Cipla facility in Pune. The court's observations came while hearing two matters — one concerning five restaurants at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises in Bandra-Kurla Complex and the other involving Cipla Pharma & Life Sciences Ltd's facility in Pune. FDA withdraws action against MCA eateries In the MCA matter, the FDA told the court that it would withdraw its order suspending the operations of five restaurants after the bench warned of contempt action against the officials concerned. A fresh inspection found that the restaurants were 88 per cent compliant with food safety rules, the bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad noted. The eateries, however, faced a separate licensing issue as they were being operated by M/s Shirke Infrastructure, while the licences were issued in the name of the MCA. The court said there was no provision under the law prohibiting such an arrangement. It also reminded the FDA that, at the previous hearing, it had specifically directed officials to apply their mind to the issue and take a pragmatic view. "However, despite clearly saying this, the FDA has disobeyed our order and taken a pedantic view instead of a pragmatic view.

At Cambridge, CJI Surya Kant flags global failure: 99% of illicit wealth untraced

At Cambridge, CJI Surya Kant flags global failure: 99% of illicit wealth untraced Economic crime is not a modern invention but a long-standing vice that has merely assumed new disguises, Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant said in his Closing Address at the 43rd International Symposium on Economic Crime at Jesus College, Cambridge. Recalling a fraud from the 4 Century BC involving Greek grain merchant Hegestratos, who sank his own empty ship, to claim maritime insurance, the CJI said the affliction predates recorded history. Citing global estimates, he noted that the world launders enough money in a single year “to buy every one of the eight billion people alive on the planet today a modest laptop.” “Of that immense tide of illicit wealth, by the most generous reckoning, less than one unit in a hundred is ever recovered,” the CJI said. “For every hundredth parts of that wealth, ninety-nine are simply referred to in speeches and reports, while only one part is ever actually put right.” Moving from rhetoric to institutional interdiction, the CJI outlined India’s framework. He detailed the three-tier system under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) – provisional attachment by the Enforcement Directorate, confirmation by the Adjudicating Authority, and trial by Special Courts – stressing that “no single institution within this process is permitted to both accused and convict”. He highlighted the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018, applicable for offences above Rs 100 crore, which allows confiscation of domestic and overseas properties if the accused fails to appear within six weeks. “In essence, flight no longer grants immunity for assets left behind,” he said. On judicial balancing, the CJI acknowledged allegations of misuse of PMLA. Union of India, where the Supreme Court mandated that grounds of arrest…
