Swami Achyutanand Tirth & Ors vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed a public interest writ petition concerning the rampant sale of adulterated milk across various states in India, citing violations of Article 21 of the Constitution. The Court noted the significant findings from the FSSAI's 2011 report, which indicated that 68.4% of milk sold was adulterated, with some states reporting up to 100% adulteration. The Court emphasized the need for effective measures by the Union and State Governments under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006 to ensure food safety and protect public health, ultimately directing the respondents to take immediate action against the sale of adulterated milk.
