Days after reprimanding the Maharashtra FDA for its drastic action against an Amazon Retail India warehouse, the Bombay High Court on Monday directed the e-commerce giant to hand over all expired and perished goods from its Bhiwandi-based facility to the agency for scientific disposal.

A bench of Acting Chief Justice Ravindra Ghuge and Justice Gautam Ankhad also directed the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to file its affidavit in response to Amazon’s plea challenging the suspension of its warehouse licence by August 27.
