Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 19(2) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, the appellants could not claim a warranty based on the label of their condensed milk since it did not conform to the prescribed standards. The Court found that the milk was below standard and the label did not meet the requirements set forth in the Act or the rules. Consequently, the appellants' acquittal was overturned, and their conviction was upheld, affirming the necessity of compliance with statutory standards for food products.
