Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Delhi High Court in Criminal Revision No. 206/2001, which had disposed of the appellant's revision petition under the Food Adulteration Act, 1954 without adequate reasoning. The Court emphasized that once a revision petition is admitted, it must be disposed of with proper justification, and remitted the matter back to the High Court for fresh consideration. The appellant's bail was ordered to continue until the High Court's decision on the revision.
