Copy of Deposition

This is a witness deposition in a food adulteration case (CC No. 190/2023), not a final court order, so there is no "outcome" to summarize in the traditional sense (bail/petition allowed/dismissed). The document records the sworn testimony of a food inspector dated 11.02.2026 regarding the inspection and sampling of allegedly misbranded Fanta Apple flavored beverages from a shop in Erode. The witness describes the collection, sealing, and transmission of food samples to a laboratory for analysis, which confirmed the product was misbranded. The witness concludes by recommending prosecution of four parties (shop owner, distributor, nominee, and manufacturer Hindustan Coca-Cola) under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
