SC to hear Nestlé’s plea seeking stay on NCDRC order on Maggi on 16 Dec

SC is also hearing FSSAI plea against the Bombay high court order which lifted the ban on the manufacturing and sale of Maggi in India
New Delhi: The Supreme Court will hear a plea by Nestlé India Ltd seeking a stay on the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) order for testing of samples of its popular snack Maggi noodles on Wednesday.
NCDRC, on 10 December, directed 16 samples of Maggi to be tested.
A two-judge bench comprising justices Dipak Misra and P.C. Pant on Tuesday issued notice to the central government in Nestlé India’s plea.
Mint had reported on 11 December that Nestlé India was planning to move the apex court against NCDRC’s order.
The centre has filed a class-action suit against Nestlé before NCDRC alleging unfair trade practices, false labelling and misleading advertisements by the firm. It has sought Rs.640 crore as compensation. The court is also hearing food regulator Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) plea against the Bombay high court order which lifted the ban on the manufacturing and sale of Maggi in India.
