MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF DELHI vs SHIV SHANKAR

The Supreme Court held that the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, and the Fruit Products Order, 1955, can coexist without conflict, as they serve different objectives. The Court ruled that the plea of implied repeal of the Adulteration Act by the Fruit Order fails, emphasizing that both statutes impose distinct restrictions that are supplementary and cumulative. The Court allowed the appeal, affirming that compliance with both statutes is necessary for the sale of vinegar, thus upholding the prosecution under the Adulteration Act.
