JUSTICE PRATEEK JALAN O R D E R % 09.09.2025 CM APPL. 56495/2025 (Application on behalf of respondents seeking extension of time in compliance of order dated 23.07.2025) 1. The captioned writ petition was disposed of by order dated 23.07.2025, with the following observations:- “5. The withdrawal of benefits expressly granted to the petitioner by the specific orders dated 04.06.2019 and 14.12.2020, as noted above, without notice or hearing to the petitioner, does not appear to me to be appropriate. The petitioner is bound to suffer adverse financial consequences as a result of the impugned order, and ought to have been put on notice. 6. At this stage, therefore, I am of the view that it would be appropriate for UOI and FSSAI to reconsider the issue after giving the petitioner an opportunity to make a representation. The present writ petition may be treated as a representation. The petitioner will also be called for a meeting to clarify the issue arising from his representation, whereafter the respondents may consider whether it is necessary, at this stage, to withdraw benefits that were granted to him more than six years ago.
