    Case Summary: Sahdev v. State of Punjab (CRR-2279-2009) The High Court of Punjab and Haryana acquitted Sahdev of food adulteration charges under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. Sahdev was convicted for selling misbranded tea packets lacking proper code/batch numbers on labels. The court found the Public Analyst's report unfounded because prosecution witnesses admitted the packets bore all required labeling details including MRP, code, and batch numbers as mandated under Rule 32. Since Sahdev purchased sealed packets from authorized dealers and resold them unopened without tampering, he qualified for statutory protection under Section 19(2) of the PFA Act, making the conviction improper.
