In a major relief for Nestle India, the Bombay High Court on Thursday lifted the ban on Maggi. The order will be applicable to all the states of the country.
However, it is a conditional relief as the court said the Maggi samples will have to undergo tests in three accredited labs. The allowance of manufacture and sale will be subjected to the outcome of test results.
The Maggi ban left several people heartbroken. Their favorite companion who stayed with them in their highs and lows was taken away from them. They were told that the lead & MSG content is too high and shouldn't be consumed. Most of us kept wondering, nothing happened to us even after eating these instant noodles for several years. Then why now?
In a moment of relief and unexpected happiness to all Maggi lovers, the ban imposed on the sale of Maggi noodles have been lifted by Bombay High Court. However, the verdict is conditional on the results of fresh tests done on seven variations of Maggi noodles. Nestle India is also expected to file for an approval for the sale of Maggi oats noodles. Earlier, a penalty had been fined against Nestle India for selling the Maggi oats noodles without getting the product approval from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Department of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution had filed a complaint against Nestle India under Section 12(1) (d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 for selling defective product, unfair trade practice and the sale of Maggi oats noodles without product approval.
The department filed the class action suit on behalf of the large number of consumers of Maggi in the country against Nestle India on grounds of unfair trade practices, sale of defective goods and sale of Maggi Oats Noodles to the public without product approval.
The complainant has sought a sum of Rs. 2,84, 55,00,000 that the Opponent Company is liable to pay and a sum of Rs. 3,55,40,70,000 as punitive damages on account of the gross negligence, apathy and callousness on the part of the Opponent Company. Thus, the total claim is for a sum of Rs. 6,39,95,70,000.
The department had sought fine for Rs. 640 cores. However, the actual fine is expected to go much higher.
We love you Maggi !! You have no idea how much we missed you!
