 Food Adulteration in India : Supreme Court Explains the Law

An important Judgment was passed by Hon'ble Supreme Court on 29 September 1975.

In context of Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954, it has been commented in Municipal Corporation of Delhi v Kacheroo Mal [1975] GCtR 2980 (SC) thus : - 

"The Act has been enacted to curb and remedy the widespread evil of food adulteration, and to ensure the sale of wholesome food to the people. It is well settled that wherever possible, without unreasonable stretching or straining, the language of such a statute should be construed in a manner which would suppress the mischief, advance the remedy, promote its object, prevent its subtle evasion and foil its artful circumvention."
