The Kerala High Court on Monday directed the state to file a detailed report on a petition seeking a directive to the Food Safety Commissioner to ensure that quality food is supplied by hotels and restaurants across the state. The state submitted before the court that 1,400 hotels were raided and action was taken against the offenders in the wake of the death of Sachin Roy Mathew, allegedly after consuming Shawarma.
A Division Bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Manjula Chellur and Justice A M Shaffique issued the directive on a petition filed by Baisil Attipetty of Ernakulam.
The petitioner sought a directive to state to issue an order to Kerala Hotel and Restaurants’ Association and its members to sell food in accordance with the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.
The petitioner stated that every citizen has a right to have hygienic and safe food from hotels.
The petitioner also sought a directive to the association to issue a detailed bill for each item they supply to consumers and to display the price list of all the food items sold.
