Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under Sections 7 and 16 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, affirming the lower courts' decisions. The Court ruled that the High Court correctly dismissed the application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, as it lacked jurisdiction to review its own judgment once pronounced. The appellant's claim regarding his age and the applicability of Section 20AA of the Act for probation was rejected, reinforcing the principle that once a judgment is rendered, it cannot be revisited under the same provisions.
