SC scraps HC's ₹5 lakh fine order against Maha FDA, says 'Action taken in public interest'. The Supreme Court set aside an order of Bombay High Court directing Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA), led by Tukaram Mundhe, to pay ₹5 lakh in compensation to a Pune shop whose licence was suspended. The court stated that FDA's action was justified in the interest of public health. The shop's licence was suspended after complaint of food.
