# Bombay HC orders fresh FDA inspection of MCA outlets 2026-08-25T06:42:24+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets (3 source reports) The Bombay High Court has directed the Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct a fresh inspection of eateries at the Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) premises in Bandra Kurla Complex, after their licenses were suspended on August 21 over hygiene and licensing violations. The court noted that the inspection reports lacked standard scoring parameters found in auto-generated reports and ordered a re-inspection on Thursday between 1 pm and 6 pm. The court permitted MCA to operate only automated tea and coffee vending machines until then. The licenses of five MCA outlets were suspended after the FDA found they were being operated by Shirke Infrastructure under MCA's name. The court will review the fresh reports on August 29. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The High Court's order adds a judicial check to the FDA's enforcement, which Indiatoday.in reported as a routine crackdown covering 250 schools and nine suspended outlets. Barandbench.com's detailed court coverage shows the judiciary demanding procedural rigour: missing scores in inspection reports and a pragmatic view of the MCA-Shirke contract. The balanced reading is that the FDA acted on violations, but the court insists on standardised evidence before penalties stick. The August 29 hearing will test whether the fresh inspection meets that standard. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - indiatoday.in (neutral report) Straight news agency style report of FDA actions without editorial slant. - indiatoday.in (2) (neutral report) Identical neutral factual report of FDA crackdown across the state. - barandbench.com (neutral report) Court-focused neutral reporting of the HC order, including judicial remarks.
