The appellant sought conviction under Section 16 read with Section 7 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, after a public analyst confirmed the presence of keshari dal, deemed injurious to health. The Court examined the statutory compliance and the evidentiary value of the analyst's report in establishing the offense of food adulteration.
