Bombay HC refuses relief on sales curb, rum maker agrees to change label

Bombay HC refuses relief on sales curb, rum maker agrees to change label - Litigation - 2 min read Bombay HC refuses relief on sales curb, rum maker agrees to change label Mohan Rocky Springwater Pvt Ltd, the maker, had moved the HC to challenge a notice issued by the FSSAI and sought to halt sale of the drink in the state. HC Acting Chief Justice RV Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad also orally took exception to the packaging and label that speaks of ‘7 years old blended’ and ‘very old vatted’. The Bombay High Court on Monday granted no urgent interim stay on an order of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) prohibiting sale of a rum, but directed the company to submit a fresh design for its label next month for a review. On Monday, the maker of Old Monk rum said it would change the label, after the FSSAI, on scrutinizing it, had stopped its sales in Maharashtra. The HC also orally said the fine print about the added flavours was unreadable and passed no order for the rum maker to cheer about. The HC orally said it was of a prima facie view that on some aspects, the company was right, and on some, it wasn’t. “So, in this situation, we cannot grant you the relief,” it said. Senior counsel Navroz Seervai, representing the company, said the label did distinguish blended spirits under the law. The label could mislead ordinary consumers into thinking the spirit was aged that long, the HC said.

SC Collegium recommends new CJs for Rajasthan, MP, J&K and Chhattisgarh SC Collegium recommends new CJs for Rajasthan, MP, J&K and Chhattisgarh TNN / Sep 01, 2026, 07:56 IST Comments Share AA Text Size Small Medium Large (Representative Image) As present CJ of Chhattisgarh HC, Justice Ramesh Sinha, is retiring on Sep 4, the Collegium recommended the appointment of Justice Krushna Ram Mohapatra as the CJ of Chhattisgarh NEW DELHI: The five-member Supreme Court Collegium led by CJI Surya Kant on Monday recommended the appointment of Justice Sanjay K Agrawal as chief justice of Rajasthan, whose acting chief justice S P Sharma has recused himself from judicial work following allegations regarding his integrity levelled by SC judge Sandeep Mehta.In a fast-paced development, the controversy sparked by Justice Mehta’s three letters within two weeks to CJI Kant seeking appointment of a regular CJ to Rajasthan HC gained momentum with advocates at the HC indulging in sloganeering against the acting CJ, followed by Justice Sharma recusing from judicial work and culminating late evening on Monday by the Collegium recommending Justice Agarwal of Chhattisgarh HC as the CJ of Rajasthan HC.The Collegium, also comprising Justices Vikram Nath, B V Nagarathna, M M Sundresh and P S Narasimha, recommended appointment of Justice Alpesh Yeshwant Kogje of Gujarat HC as CJ of Madhya Pradesh HC and Justice Pushpendra Singh Bhati of Rajasthan HC as the CJ of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh HC.

CJP’s proposed march on Sep 5 an attempt to create lawlessness before Brics: PIL in SC

CJP’s proposed march on Sep 5 an attempt to create lawlessness before Brics: PIL in SC “It is for the law enforcing agencies to ensure law and order while acting in accordance with law,” the CJI-led bench said NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday refused to pass any interim orders on two PILs, including one by a retired police officer, seeking deferment of Cockroach Janata Party ‘s proposed march on Sep 5 by alleging that it is intended to create lawlessness ahead of Sep 12-13 BRICS summit in Delhi to deter participation of world leaders.When the petitioners questioned how such a march from the India Gate to the Police Headquarters can take place without permission, A bench of Chief Justice Surya Kant, and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana said there are two issues – one relates to law and order and the other to policy relating to permission to protest marches.“Let the stakeholders talk to them. As of now we have no reason to doubt that everyone would act and behave in a very responsible manner and in a peaceful and lawful manner. Right now, there is no compelling reason for us (the court) to presume that any wrong will happen. It is for the law enforcing agencies to ensure law and order while acting in accordance with law,” the CJI-led bench said.Appearing for one of the petitioners, advocate Syed Rizwan Ahmed said given the BRICS summit, till date no application seeking permission has been given to the authorities. In West Bengal, the previous govt did not give permission to so many protest rallies and the organizers had to move the HC for permission. Why does CJP, an unregistered entity not follow the same process? Are they above law, he asked.“God forbid another mishap, may not be by CJP, but by some mischievous elements take place, it will be covered by international media and deter participation of the foreign country leaders in BRICs,” he…
