MUMBAI, Aug. 22 -- The Bombay High Court on Friday refused to grant relief to a Thane-based restaurant whose Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence was suspended for allegedly serving analogue or non-diary paneer to customers. "You're making people eat something rotten. Why don't you advertise on your sign board that you sell analogue paneer and that original food is not sold at your restaurant," a division bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad said while hearing a petition filed by Udupi Swaad restaurant, challenging the suspension of its FSSAI licence. The restaurant claimed that its licence was suspended by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) through an automated portal notification on August 11, without any improvement notice, non-compliance report or opportunity of hearing. According to the petition, food safety officers visited the restaurant on June 11, purchased one kilogram of loose paneer and sent the sample to the FDA laboratory for analysis. The report stated that the sample likely contained foreign fat; accordingly, the product was labelled "unsafe". On July 3, FDA commissioner Tukaram Mundhe issued a notification prohibiting the manufacture, sale, storage and distribution of analogue paneer. During the hearing on Friday, advocate Vishal Hegde, appearing for the restaurant, argued that the FDA came into force only on July 30, nearly seven weeks after the date of sampling at the restaurant. The court questioned the rationale behind the restaurant selling "fake products" to customers and compromising their safety....
