Maharashtra Moves Court Over Centre's Food Safety Rules, Calling Them an Overreach

The Maharashtra government has approached the court challenging food safety rules, arguing they encroach on powers that belong to the state. The petition was filed through the State Commissioner of Food Safety. It contends that the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 was designed to decentralise food regulation, a purpose the state says the new rules undermine. The case centres on the balance of regulatory authority between the Centre and the states over food safety. The article provided does not include further details on the specific rules or the court's response.
