STATE OF U.P. vs HANIF

The Supreme Court held that the notification dated February 15, 1975, did not supersede the earlier notification of June 23, 1972, but rather continued it, allowing both Dr. S.B. Singh and B.S. Garg to coexist as Public Analysts with jurisdiction to analyze food articles. The Court clarified that the evidence of the Food Inspector does not require corroboration from independent witnesses unless specific doubts about the purchase are raised. The conviction based on the report of Dr. S.B. Singh was upheld, affirming the trial court's decision as free from jurisdictional error under the Food Adulteration Act.
