Case History
Summary of Crl.A. No. 407/2005 - State v. Amar Singh The Supreme Court allowed the State's appeal and set aside the High Court's sentence reduction. Amar Singh was convicted under Section 16(1A) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954; the trial court sentenced him to one year rigorous imprisonment and Rs. 4,000 fine. The High Court had reduced imprisonment to 21 days while increasing the fine to Rs. 10,000, but the Supreme Court found this violated the mandatory one-year minimum sentence prescribed by statute. The Court restored the original sentence and directed Singh's immediate custody to serve the remaining sentence, with compliance report due within one month.
