BINDU vs SURESH KUMAR

The Supreme Court held that compliance with Section 13(2) of the Food Adulteration Act is crucial for the accused's right to have a sample re-examined by the Central Food Laboratory. The Court found that the prosecution failed to properly serve the report to the appellant, as it was inadequately addressed and delivered to his grandfather instead of him. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, acquitting the appellant of the charges and discharging his bail bonds.
