Justice Mahajan passed the order after Dabur approached the High Court against the FSSAI order dated August 3, 2026.
Senior Advocate Sandeep Sethi appeared for the company today and argued that Dabur has been selling these products for decades and that the officer who passed the banning order does not have the power to prohibit the sale of these products in the manner in which it has been done.
He added that the order was passed without following principles of natural justice or a show-cause notice.
Central Government Standing Counsel (CGSC) Ashish Dixit appeared for FSSAI and defended the decision.
He said that an improvement notice was given to Dabur.
Dixit said that Dabur had earlier challenged the order restraining the company from using 100% claims for its fruit juice but the Court had not granted any stay in that matter.
After considering the case, the Court held that a prima facie case was made in Dabur's favour.
Therefore, it stayed the FSSAI order.
