IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29876 of 2001 CHAIRMAN,M/S HINDUSTAN LEVER LTD. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 3. 18.8.2010. Heard Sri N.K.Agrawal, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. Admittedly the eatable iodized salt bearing the printed label appeared showing that the article was packed in June, 2000. The Public Analyst reported that the article was misbranded inasmuch as it was in complete conflagration with the provisions of Rule 32(i)of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955. The above said Rules came into force from the Ist of September, 2000, i.e., three months after the article was packed. In that view, the whole proceeding initiated in CB Case No.1 of 2001, TR Case No.1175 of 2001 is hereby quashed. The petition is allowed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha, J. )
