Ravinder Gupta Vs. State
6
13 As far as the objection of Ld. SPP for State is
concerned, in the present case, the offence was that the
article/food i.e. Vanaspati Ghee was found having deviation from
standards i.e. melting point is found as 44 (31-41) and BT negative
(should be positive). This was termed as adulteration in view of
Sec.2(ia) of PFA Act and thus consequently punishable
u/sec.16(1a) of PFA Act. The charge/notice was framed with these
facts. There was no charge/notice in which it is stated that the
said deviation was injurious to health. Had it been the case, the
charge should have been u/sec.16(1A) (ii) of PFA Act.
