    Summary The court acquitted both accused under Section 248(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code of charges related to manufacturing and selling substandard/spurious drugs under Sections 17B(d) and 18(a)(i) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940. The magistrate found fatal procedural defects in the complaint (Accused No.2 mischaracterized as a "partner" of a private limited company), unexplained delays in sample testing (10-16 months), violations of mandatory requirements under Section 23, and conflicting lab reports rendering the evidence unreliable for conviction.
