The Chhattisgarh High Court rejected a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed seeking direction mandating to set up an appropriate structure to look after the functioning of the Chhattisgarh State Cooperative Dairy Federation and to keep a check on the quantity and quality of the products produced and marketed by it.
The PIL filed by one Mukesh Chandra Pujari further seeks direction to institute any appropriate enquiry against the responsible authorities/officials/employees who have been committing fraud and cheating and are acting negligently and irresponsibly against the public by selling and marketing the milk and milk products with less quantity than mentioned and of compromised quality and punish them under the relevant provisions.
The Division Bench of Chief Justice Ramesh Sinha and Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey noted that a complaint has already been under Sections 3(1)(zf)(C)(i) of the Food Safety & Standard Act, 2006 and Rule 21(2) of the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011, and inspite of the said complaint being filed against the Chhattisgarh State Cooperative Dairy Federation (respondent No.1) , no action has been taken, hence the present PIL.
“But, as the appropriate authority has filed a complaint under the Act of 2006 and the Rules of 2011 against respondent No.1, it will be more appropriate for the petitioner that the proceedings initiated against the respondent No.1 be brought to its logical end before the competent Court, we are not inclined to entertain this PIL”, the Court observed.
Therefore the Court rejected the PIL.
