https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=273568 Section 3(1) of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 was construed to authorise reasonable qualitative control over production and labelling of essential commodities. Applying that power, the Fruit Products Order, 1955 was treated as validly regulating fruit-based beverages, and beverages containing fruit juice or pulp were brought within the definition of fruit product. The definition of synthetic beverage and the labelling requirement for products with less than 25% fruit juice were read harmoniously, not as inconsistent provisions. Incidental impact on trade mark use and constitutional rights did not invalidate the order, particularly where compliance through proper labelling remained available and no applicable exemption was established. en-us Mon, 23 Nov 1964 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 03 Jul 2018 11:22:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=273568 Section 3(1) of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 was construed to authorise reasonable qualitative control over production and labelling of essential commodities.
