Madurai HC registers, sanctions one licensing case; second postponed to April 19

Of the two cases that were filed in the Madurai High Court against the stringent licensing and registration rules imposed by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), one was sanctioned and registered on April 18.

“However, owing to the paucity of time, the second case could not be heard. It has been postponed to April 19,” S V S S Velshankar, honorary secretary, Tamil Nadu Foodgrains Merchants' Association, told over the telephone.

Meanwhile, Tejinder Singh Renu, honorary secretary, Vidarbha Taxpayers' Association (VTA) and Nagpur Residential Hotels Association (NRHA), confirmed that he has withdrawn the public interest litigation (PIL) he filed against the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Maharashtra.

“The Nagpur bench of the Bombay High Court found a number of issues in it, and some of our recommendations and suggestions were not heard. But we will file it again when we get the required information,” he said.
