Import of good subject to FSSAI regulations - time frame for inspection of goods - Section 47(5) of the Act only makes provisions for the authorized officer of FSSAI to take samples of the imported articles and forward the same to the Food Analyst - it would not be prudent to prescribe or stipulate a particular timeframe within which that exercise of inspection, taking of samples and clearance is ultimately completed. This since it would be impossible for the Court to predict the vagaries of a particular situation as well as the volume of imported articles of food that may be pending for inspection at any particular point of time by FSSAI. - HC
