Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Section 27 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, the test report from the Central Drugs Laboratory is conclusive evidence regarding the quality of the drug. The Court emphasized that the appellant's request for re-testing was not valid as the law mandates adherence to the original test results. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision to proceed with the complaint against the appellant for manufacturing sub-standard drugs.
