Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Delhi High Court in Criminal Revision No. 206/2001 regarding the appellant's conviction under Sections 7 and 16 of the Food Adulteration Act, 1954, for selling adulterated chilly powder. The Court found that the High Court's disposal of the revision petition was cryptic and lacked reasoning, which is improper for an admitted case. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh disposal, with the appellant's bail continuing until then, without any opinion on the merits of the case.
