Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the proceedings against the respondents under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, specifically Sections 7 and 16. The Court established that a prima facie case was made out against the accused, as the complaint detailed their roles and responsibilities in the adulteration of milk toffees. The Court reversed the High Court's decision, allowing the proceedings to continue against the accused.
