Ranbaxy Laboratories has filed a consent decree with a US court as part of its settlement with the American authorities regarding a ban on certain manufacturing plants operated by the company in India. The company announced that the consent decree with the US Food and Drug Administration that was signed on 20 December 2011, has been filed with the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Under the terms of the consent decree, which is subject to approval by this court, Ranbaxy has committed to further strengthen procedures and policies to ensure data integrity and to comply with current good manufacturing practices, the statement said.
In 2008, the USFDA had banned 30 generic drugs produced by Ranbaxy at its Dewas (Madhya Pradesh) and Paonta Sahib and Batamandi unit in Himachal Pradesh, citing gross violation of approved manufacturing norms. In the same year, the US Department of Justice had moved a motion against the company in a local court alleging forgery of documents and fraudulent practice. A consent decree is a settlement of a lawsuit or criminal case in which a person or company agrees to take specific actions without admitting fault or guilt for the situation that led to the lawsuit.
