Court rules in favour of Nestle in Maggi ban case - TV

MUMBAI (Reuters) - A court has ruled in favour of Nestle in its appeal challenging Indian food safety regulators' findings that the Swiss group's Maggi instant noodles contained excess lead, television channels reported on Thursday.

The news reports said the regulator would have to justify its ban of the popular snack.

Nestle withdrew the noodles from Indian stores in June.
