Madurai HC issues injunction in first food licensing case filed by TN traders

The Madurai High Court has issued an injunction in the first of two food licensing and registration cases filed by the Tamil Nadu All Traders' United Confederation. The hearing of the second case has been postponed to next week.

S V S S Velshankar, honorary secretary, Tamil Nadu Foodgrains Merchants' Association, told F&B News, "We have just returned from Dindigul, where we discussed how to proceed with the protest. We haven't read the court order yet."

As of now, going on strike has been ruled out. However, Velshankar seemed confident that the traders' body's talks with agriculture minister Sharad Pawar and the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) officials in New Delhi next week will be fruitful.
