Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined the conviction of the appellant under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, where the appellant, a vendor, argued that he was not liable as he sold a sealed product with a manufacturer's warranty. The court held that the vendor could not escape liability merely by relying on the warranty provided by the manufacturer, affirming the conviction and sentence imposed by the lower courts.
