New Delhi: The Bombay High Court on Friday refused to grant bail to Nestle India and hence the ban on sale and consumption of Maggi will contine. The Maggi noodles will be off the shelves till the next hearing on June 30.
A division bench of Justice VM Kanade and Justice BP Colabawala said the next hearing will be on June 30.
The High Court has directed the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India and the Maharashtra government to file affidavits within two weeks on Nestle's petition.
Maggi maker Nestle India had on Thursday moved the Bombay High Court seeking a judicial review of the food safety regulator, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI)'s order over the quality of its instant noodles.
Nestle has asked the court to interpret the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2011, under which the sale of Maggi was banned for its alleged high lead content. At least a dozen other Indian states, including Maharashtra, have banned the sale of Maggi.
