2020 (1) TMI 1655 - DELHI HIGH COURTSeeking to permanently restraint the import of artificial fruit ripening sachet in any form whatsoever throughout the territory of India - HELD THAT:- It appears that Food Safety and Standards Authority of India has permitted import of Ethepone in powder form, however, as per the petitioner, the effect of this is dangerous to public health. It appears that to arrive at any conclusion about the effect of Ethepone in powder form, which is being used for artificial ripening of the fruits, depends upon the cogent and convincing evidence produced by the petitioner. Evidence of experts in the field is also required which will be subject to the cross-examination by the other side. In this eventuality, there are no reason to entertain this writ petition. The respondents are directed to treat this writ petition as a representation and look into the grievances ventilated by the petitioner. If need arises, they can also have further discussion with the experts to revisit the conclusions arrived at by the respondents for the usage of Ethepone in powder form which is allowed to be used for artificial ripening of the fruits. This writ petition is disposed of.
