Welcome to Safe Food Mitra
Virendra Singh, a native of Uttar Pradesh, was caught selling adulterated milk on October 7, 1981 and was convicted on September 29, 1984 by a trial court, which awarded him one year rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 under the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. He challenged the order before the Bulandshahr sessions court, which on July 14, 1987 affirmed the trial court’s order and upheld his conviction and sentence under the Act. Aggrieved by the sessions court’s order, Singh moved the Allahabad High Court on July 28, 1987. The high court, by a verdict passed on January 30, 2013, upheld his conviction but reduced the sentence to six months rigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs 2,000. Singh, who was on bail for nearly four decades, surrendered before the trial court on April 20, 2023 and deposited the Rs 2,000 fine, more than a decade after the high court order. He was arrested and sent to jail.
