GLAXOSMITHKLINE PHARMACET. LTD. vs STATE OF M.P.

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 established that the delay in filing the complaint did not invalidate the proceedings, as the statutory authority acted within its jurisdiction. The Court affirmed that the chemical analyst's report, indicating the sample was not of 'standard quality', was sufficient to proceed with the complaint despite the appellants' claims regarding the analysis method used.
