2013 (6) TMI 578 - HC - CustomsImport of Cottonseed Oil of Edible Grade - food safety - human consumption - reprocessed material after refinement was found to have Iodine content of 97, which is less by 1 as prescribed under the Rules. - Held that:- the sole intention of the earlier order of this Court was to see that the consignment in question is not released so long as it does not meet the standard prescribed by the Rules, 1955, on the basis of testing by that particular Laboratory. In such circumstances, if on refinement on the first occasion, the petitioner’s reprocessed goods could not pass the said standard, another opportunity should be given to the petitioner for further reprocessing, so that on such further reprocessing the consignment can be brought within the norms prescribed under the Rules. Further opportunity given to the petitioner for reprocessing the material further so as to bring it within the norms laid down under the Rules and to present the sample for further examination by the said Laboratory. In other words, so long the Central Food Laboratory, Mysore, will not clear the material on such test after further processing, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (D.R.I.) Authority will not release the goods for the purpose of human consumption. The petitioner is, therefore, at liberty to further reprocess the material and to present the sample on such reprocessing for the purpose of testing.
