2-minute relief for Maggi: Nestle allowed exports, rules HC
June 30, 2015
Nestle can export its products to other countries before setting of a new date for hearing of their ban related petition, the Bombay HC has ruled.
The ruling comes as a
relief to Nestle India which is battling a ban on sale of its 2-minute
Maggi noodles in India. The curb on sales within the country would
continue to operate.
The HC posted the next hearing of Nestle's
challenge to July 14 now after a brief hearing on Tuesday where senior
counsel Iqbal Chagla appeared for Nestle and Anil Singh appeared for the
state.
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India
(FSSAI) had on Saturday justified its June 5 ban on Nestle India's
2-minute Maggi noodles in strongly worded 60-page affidavit that
questioned the company's safety claims.
