    Case Summary: 654/2025 The State of Gujarat (Datha Police Station) v. Himmatbhai Jabarbhai Dhapa The court convicted the respondent under IPC Section 275 (adulteration of food/drugs) on the basis of his voluntary guilty plea and confession. However, considering that this was his first offense, his status as a poor family man supporting dependents through manual labor, and the hardship a lengthy sentence would impose on his family, the court imposed a lenient sentence of Rs. 100 fine instead of the statutory punishment, while still maintaining the deterrent effect of the judgment.
