Supreme Court judge Bharat Upreti was scheduled to hear a petition today asking for cancellation of the manufacturing licence given to the Indian joint venture after it was embroiled in a fresh controversy over allegations of adulteration of its popular fruit juice brand. The company has denied the allegation. The petition was filed by Bhushan Giri, a local of the Indi-bordering Birgunj town where the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA) raided the godown of Dabur Nepal last Monday. The agency allegedly seized 74,000 cartons of its Real brand of fruit juice for allegedly manipulating manufacturing dates. The hearing could not take place due to lack of time today as the?case was on the tenth priority.
