HC raps FDA for failing to revoke Navi Mumbai restaurant's licence despite 100 pc compliance

Bombay High Court revoked licence suspension order for Hotel Pawan Bar and Restaurant in Belapur, Navi Mumbai, after FDA found it 100% compliant.

FDA issued suspension on June 30 after a June 29 inspection found 63% compliance; reinspection on July 14 gave 100% compliance certificate.

Court questioned FDA for not revoking suspension despite compliance and considered imposing costs for the restaurant's losses.

Petition filed by Hotel Pawan Bar and Restaurant challenged FDA action; court posted hearing to deliberate on costs and financial losses.
