‘Be realistic, we’re in India’: Bombay High Court quashes suspension of hotel licence by FDA over hygiene

‘Be realistic, we’re in India’: Bombay High Court quashes suspension of hotel licence by FDA over hygiene The Bombay High Court has suggested to the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to adopt a realistic approach, considering that ‘we’re in India’, and quashed its order suspending the licence of a four-star hotel in Navi Mumbai over hygiene. Giving relief to the hotel, a Bench of Acting Chief Justice (ACJ) Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad noted on Wednesday (July 29, 2026), that the FDA decision was based on the finding of two small insects. The Court said the “solitary finding regarding the presence of two insects’’ when viewed against the overall ‘satisfactory’ compliance report on hygiene, maintenance and operation did not justify the continued suspension of the licence. “We are in India. We have to take a realistic stand,” High Court said. The FDA on July 3 suspended the Food Safety Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) licence of Park Inn by Radisson hotel, citing “serious lapses in hygiene, sanitation, food storage and food handling practices”, a day after its surprise inspection of the premises. The hotel then moved the High Court, submitting that the order was drastic and disproportionate. As per the FDA, the hotel had secured a 95% compliance score, but insects had been found in the kitchen area, resulting in the suspension. Government Pleader Neha Bhide told the Court on Wednesday (July 29, 2026), that there could be no compromise on food safety and hygiene. “There may be one insect or 10 insects, it doesn’t matter.

‘National disgrace’: Trump slams court ruling halting ballroom construction; to challenge in Supreme Court

‘National disgrace’: Trump slams court ruling halting ballroom construction; to challenge in Supreme Court US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) called a federal appeals court ruling that halted plans to build a new White House ballroom a “National Security Threat” and a “National disgrace.” He also said his administration would immediately take the matter to the US Supreme Court. In a post on Truth Social, Trump criticised the divided federal appeals court's ruling, which stated that building the proposed ballroom would require congressional approval. The US President wrote, "Two Judges, one appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, the other by Sleepy Joe Biden, said in a ruling on the desperately needed SECURE Ballroom/Military Complex, including a major DronePort on the roof, that 'Each President is a temporary tenant...of the White House.' We are not tenants... we are PRESIDENTS, elected by the people of the United States of America, and have many rights, including the right to fix, renovate, secure, protect, and beautify the White House grounds." Describing the ruling as a threat to national security, he added, "This decision, made after much of the work has been done and paid for, is a National Security Threat at the highest level. It is also a National Disgrace." According to CNN, a US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 ruling said that the Trump administration could not move forward with the massive ballroom project without congressional approval. Citing the court ruling, news agency AP reported that the US President lacks unilateral authority to construct a 90,000-square-foot (8,400-square-metre) ballroom on the site of the White House's East Wing, which Trump ordered demolished last fall. The appeals court said, "Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive…

Kerala HC seeks State’s response on actor Ansiba Hassan’s petition against Magistrate’s order

Kerala HC seeks State’s response on actor Ansiba Hassan’s petition against Magistrate’s order The Kerala High Court on Thursday admitted the petition by actor Ansiba Hassan challenging an order of the Judicial First Class Magistrate Court, Ernakulam, which refused to register a case based on her complaint against a video allegedly containing sexually coloured and defamatory statements made against her. Hassan requested the High Court to set aside the Magistrate’s order and instruct the Station House Officer, Palarivattom, to register an FIR and conduct an investigation on her complaint against her fellow actors Lakshmipriya and Shwetha Menon. The court granted the State time to respond to the petition and directed that the matter would be considered in a week. Hassan had narrated that in the early hours of June 26, a teaser video of an interview with Ms. Lakshmipriya was published on a social media platform, containing sexually coloured remarks intended to outrage her modesty and insult her dignity as a woman. Hassan attempted to prevent the release of the full interview by filing complaints with the police and the Kerala Home Minister, who reportedly informed her that an investigation was already underway. The full interview was released on the evening of June 26. Lakshmipriya that portrayed her as “a woman of immoral character who clandestinely invites men to her room for illicit activities, thereby damaging her reputation, dignity and privacy.” The SHO, Palarivattom, had informed the Magistrate on Ms.
