RAJ KUMAR vs THE STATE OF UTTAR PRADESH

The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of the appellant under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, for selling adulterated milk, finding that the sample analysis complied with Section 13(2) of the Act. The Court rejected the appellant's claims regarding delays in analysis and the opportunity to send a second sample to the Central Food Laboratory, stating that the appellant was duly notified and failed to act on the option provided. The Court emphasized that the marginal shortfall in Milk Solid Non-Fat was not sufficient to overturn the conviction, affirming the lower courts' decisions.
