The Bombay High Court questions the basis of an FDA cleanliness certification for the Mantralaya State Secretariat canteen, which is described as “98% clean.” Reporting from multiple outlets says the court raises concerns while examining the agency’s claim and directs actions to verify the situation on the ground. The court orders a team of lawyers to immediately visit and inspect the premises, effectively initiating a re-examination alongside the FDA’s assessment. The dispute centers on whether the canteen meets cleanliness standards reflected in the certificate, prompting judicial scrutiny of the FDA’s process and findings. The court’s intervention indicates that the matter remains under consideration and that independent observation by lawyers is intended to check the condition of the facility. Meanwhile, the FDA maintains that the canteen is largely compliant, as reflected in its percentage-based cleanliness certificate. The combined reports describe a process where the certificate is not accepted at face value and further inspection is mandated to establish the canteen’s actual hygiene condition.
