    Summary of Case APL/954/2025 The Bombay High Court (Nagpur Bench) quashed criminal proceedings against seed companies and their officers under the Seeds Act, 1966, finding prosecutorial delays rendered the statutory right of sample re-analysis illusory. The court held that where complaint filing and summons service occur after seed samples' shelf-life expiry, the accused loses meaningful opportunity to challenge lab reports through re-testing, constituting denial of fair trial and abuse of process warranting case dismissal.
