#Licensing

The Andhra Pradesh High Court quashed show cause notices against a sweet manufacturer for failing to clearly specify statutory violations under the Food Safety Act and Panchayat Raj Act. While upholding the illegality of unlicensed food manufacturing in residential areas, the court reaffirmed that procedural fairness mandates explicit notice of breach to ensure effective response and compliance.

Rajasthan High Court holds that mere pendency of a criminal case is insufficient to deny or revoke an arms license; speaking orders and public safety nexus required.
