Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the rejection of the appellants' application for quashing the complaint under The Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, specifically under Section 35. The Court ruled that the delay in filing the complaint did not invalidate the proceedings, as the statutory authority acted within its jurisdiction. The Court emphasized that the chemical analyst's report indicating 'analytical difficulties' did not preclude the initiation of legal action against the appellants for non-compliance with the Act.
