Jahanara Begum, who runs Raj Cuisine in Gower Road, St Georges, with her husband Mohammed Uddin, was investigated after reports of fly tipping were made in Sandwell - 30 miles away - where they live.

Telford Magistrates Court heard that onion peel and other waste was found dumped, and Telford & Wrekin Council was contacted on April 13 last year about the issue.

A "duty of care" visit was carried out to Raj Cuisine by an enforcement officer, but it was found the owners did not have the documentation legally required for waste management and disposal.
