Gujarat High Court Criminal Manual (subordinate court practice), 1977
Sub-section (2) of section 13 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 (No. 37 of 1954) entitles the accused vendor or the complainant in a prosecution under the Act to make an application to the Court for sending part of the sample mentioned in Sub-clause (i) or Sub-clause (iii) of Clause (c) of Sub-section (I) of section 11 to the Director of the Central Food Laboratory for a certificate on payment of the fee of Rs. 40/- per sample prescribed by sub-rule (6) of Rule 4 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955. Presiding Officers of the Courts should, therefore, see that the chalan for the fee paid is invariably forwarded with the sample to be analysed, to the Director of the Central Food Laboratory, Calcutta, to enable him to realise the amount without undue delay.
