  • The bench's remarks came amid discussions about the FDA's decision to suspend the license of a prominent Mumbai hotel.

A judge at the Bombay High Court voiced frustration with regulatory actions, drawing a parallel between an insect on his own table and the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) suspension of a leading Mumbai hotel's operating license. The remarks highlight a perceived inconsistency or overreach in enforcement.

During a court session, the bench noted the presence of pests, with one judge stating, "Last week, there was a big insect sitting right in front of my table. So what can we do?" This observation was used to question the severity of the FDA's action against the hotel, implying that such issues might be common.

Last week, there was a big insect sitting right in front of my table. So what can we do?
