Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the accused violated Section 2 (ia) (a), (c), & (m) and Section 16 (1) (a) read with Section 7 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 by storing adulterated Ghee intended for sale. The Court found that the sample taken was indeed meant for sale, countering the High Court's reasoning. The discrepancies in the Butyro Refractometer readings were deemed insufficient to invalidate the sample's representativeness, leading to the reversal of the acquittal by the Sessions Court.
