The Supreme Court Thursday urged the state governments to make necessary
amendments to their laws to make production and marketing of
adulterated milk, which is injurious to human consumption, an offence
punishable with life imprisonment.
The observation by an apex
court bench of Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan and Justice A.K. Sikri came
after taking note of Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Odisha having made
the sale of adulterated milk, contaminated with synthetic material, an
offence punishable with life imprisonment.
Asking the states to
make the law to deal with production and sale of milk which is harmful
to human beings more stringent, the court observed that the maximum
punishment of six months for such offences under the Food Safety and
Standards Act was grossly inadequate.
The court was hearing a
public suit which said samples collected by the Food Safety and
Standards Authority of India in 2011 revealed large-scale sale of
adulterated milk across the country.
