The Bombay High Court has mandated Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to pay ₹5 lakh in compensation to a Pune sweets shop for suspending its licence. The court overturned the suspension order, enabling Gurunanak Dairy and Sweets to resume operations. The shop had been shut for 34 days, leading to an estimated loss of revenue of Rs 8.74 lakh.
