RAM DAYAL vs MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF DELHI AND ANR.

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 9 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 for selling food with impermissible coloring matter. The Court ruled that the accused's right to cross-examine the Public Analyst was contingent upon following the procedure outlined in Section 13(2) of the Act, which was not adhered to. The Court found no merit in the appeal, emphasizing that the accused failed to provide evidence to rebut the analyst's report or justify the need for cross-examination, thus affirming the High Court's decision.
