['Deependra Singh Chundawat']

New Delhi, August 7: The Delhi High Court granted interim relief to Dabur India Limited by staying an order from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) that directed the company to halt the sale of certain food products with misleading “100 percent” claims.
The court remarked, “Considering the arguments presented by the senior advocate for the petitioner, this court is of the prima facie opinion that such a prohibition order should not have been passed without a hearing.
The court issued a notice to the central government and FSSAI, seeking their response to Dabur’s petition and passing an interim order.
Ashish Dixit, the central government’s standing counsel representing FSSAI, defended the regulatory action, stating that Dabur had been given a notice for corrective measures before the prohibition order was issued.
After considering the arguments, the Delhi High Court opined that the prima facie case appeared to be in favor of Dabur and stayed the implementation of the prohibition order until the next hearing date.
