OM PRAKASH vs DELHI ADMINISTRATION & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that under Section 7 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, each sample taken from different receptacles constitutes a distinct sale, thereby establishing separate offences. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming the High Court's ruling that the appellant was liable for six different offences due to the adulteration of cow's milk samples. The judgment clarified that the act of taking samples for analysis from different receptacles is justified as it may reveal varying degrees of adulteration.
