MUMBAI, July 30 -- The Bombay High Court on Wednesday directed the Maharashtra government to submit details on inspections conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at food establishments run by the government and semi-government institutions, or those running on a contractual basis by government departments. The court was hearing a petition filed by Sanjay Nirbhavane, a representative of hotel Park Inn by Radisson in Navi Mumbai, challenging the suspension of its FSSAI licence over alleged food safety violations on July 3 after a surprise inspection by FDA officials. On July 17, a division bench comprising Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad had directed the FDA commissioner to set up a special committee to inspect the hotel premises to assess whether compliance was made. The court said if the report indicates that all the deficiencies had been taken care of or are within tolerable limits, the suspension order should be withdrawn and the hotel permitted to operate its restaurant. During Wednesday's hearing, advocate Mayur Khandeparkar along with advocates Shubhra Swami and Sagar Shetty, representing the petitioner, informed the court that its score linked to deficiencies was within tolerable limits. They argued that the FDA should give an improvement notice before suspending the licence. "We are concerned about the suspension of the licence. Are those infractions of such nature that it warrants suspension? FDA is doing a laudable job but this is really extreme," Khandeparkar said. Government pleader, Neha Bhide, representing the state, argued that the FDA is not operating on a "pick and choose" policy. She pointed out that canteens of the BMC, KEM Hospital and that of top clubs were also shut over similar food safety violations. The court, however, told the state to take a "realistic view" while carrying out such inspections. It directed the state to submit details of inspections conducted at food establishments at government or semi-government offices by Friday....
