The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has cleared the way for Pran Dairy Ltd (Pran Milk) and Akij Food and Beverage Ltd (Farm Fresh Milk) in producing, distributing and selling packaged pasteurised milk.
Justice Md Nuruzzaman, chamber judge of the Appellate Division, stayed for five weeks parts of the HC order that directed Pran Dairy Ltd and Akij Food and Beverage Ltd to stop production, distribution and sale of pasteurised milk for five weeks.
The chamber judge passed the order after hearing two separate petitions filed by the companies seeking stay on those parts of the High Court order.
The court also asked the two companies to file separate petitions with this court challenging the High Court order in five weeks.
On July 28, the HC banned sales of pasteurised milk after the discovery of substances that are harmful for human consumption in the products of 14 companies.
