RANGANATHA REDDIAR vs THE STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court held that the phrase 'quality is upto the mark' in a cash memo constitutes a sufficient warranty under the proviso to Rule 12-A of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955. The Court clarified that this wording implies the food's quality meets the standards required by the Act, thus including nature and substance. The High Court's ruling was overturned, allowing the appeal and affirming that the cash memo's language suffices as a warranty without needing explicit terms regarding nature, substance, and quality.
