    "articleBody": "The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has informed the Bombay High Court that Old Monk cannot be sold as rum. The authority's counsel argued that the primary issue concerns the fundamental nature of the product rather than just its labelling.\n\nThe FSSAI's counsel clarified to the court that the classification of Old Monk should be based on its intrinsic characteristics. They noted that the drink could instead be categorised differently, implying that its current labelling as rum is not appropriate. This submission was made during ongoing proceedings in the Bombay High Court.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nगरमपानी के युवाओं ने भारतीय सेना में लेफ्टिनेंट पद हासिल किया\nदिल्ली में भरभराकर गिरी इमारत, मलबे में फंसे लोगों की तलाश जारी\nबॉम्बे हाईकोर्ट ने Old Monk की बिक्री पर रोक बरकरार रखी\nबॉम्बे हाईकोर्ट ने ओल्ड मॉन्क की बिक्री पर रोक हटाने से किया इनकार",
