Case No. Food Safety And Standards Authority Of India V. M/S. Nestle India Ltd. And Ors.
Case Title Special Leave Petition to Appeal (C) No. 33251 of 2015
The FSSAI has in its petition for appeal, questioned the “sanctity” of the samples provided to the government-approved labs for the re-test, contending that the High Court had asked Nestle to provide samples whereas it should have been picked up randomly from the market. As per the sources, seeking Maggi samples from Nestle vitiated the entire procedure of re-testing and that a neutral authority should have ideally lifted the samples. [Indian Express]
