INDOFIL INDUSTRIES LTD. vs STATE OF PUNJAB INSECTICIDE INSPECTOR

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the High Court's dismissal of a quashing petition under Section 482 CrPC concerning prosecution under The Insecticides Act, 1968, specifically Sections 3(k)(i), 17, 18, 29, 30, and 33. The Court held that the appellants were denied their right to analyze the spare sample as mandated by Section 22(6)(ii), which constituted a violation of due process. Consequently, the Court ruled in favor of the appellants, quashing the prosecution due to procedural irregularities.
