Mohinder Kumar vs State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Section 7 read with Section 16 of the Food Adulteration Act, confirming that the sample of Iodized Tata Salt did not meet the prescribed iodine content. The Court found that the prosecution had established the appellant's liability despite the first accused's acquittal, as the evidence indicated that the appellant was the supplier of the adulterated salt. The Court emphasized the importance of compliance with statutory standards in food safety and upheld the sentence of one year imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 1000.
