Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the products Candy man, Minto-Fresh, Kitchens of India, Badam Halwa, and Ashirvaad Atta do not qualify as 'wholesale packages' under Rule 2(x) of the Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1977. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision that the packages failed to meet the necessary declarations required by Rule 29, including manufacturer details and retail sale price. Consequently, the appeal by the State of Maharashtra was dismissed, upholding the High Court's ruling.
