Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the products seized by the State of Maharashtra, including 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 these products did not meet the definition of wholesale packages intended for sale to intermediaries. Consequently, the appeal by the State was dismissed, upholding the High Court's order.
