Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Punjab and Haryana High Court erred in setting aside the conviction under Section 16(i)(a)(i) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, as it improperly reassessed factual findings made by the trial court and the Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized that the High Court, in a revision petition, should not interfere with concurrent findings of fact unless there is a clear error of law. The Supreme Court reinstated the conviction and sentence imposed by the lower courts, affirming the legal standards for food adulteration.
