National Organic Chemical Industries Ltd., (1996) 10 JT (SC) 480 this Court in somewhat similar circumstances said that the procedure laid down under Section 24 of the Act deprived the accused to have sample tested by the Central Insecticides Laboratory and adduce evidence of the report so given in his defence.

The Court held that the accused had been deprived of a valuable right statutorily available to him.
