  "account": "On March 9, 1995, food inspector Mr. Chaudhari purchased Kaju Katli from Mr. Bhanubhai's sweet shop in Vyara, Surat, Gujarat, and sent it for testing at the Public Analyst in Bhuj. The sample was found to have used aluminum foil instead of silver foil. The Judicial Magistrate ordered a three-year imprisonment and a Rs 5,000 fine for Bhanubhai and his partners. However, the Gujarat High Court overturned the imprisonment sentence in 2026, citing two grounds: the food inspector did not follow Rule 14 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955 in collecting the sample bottles, and there was no evidence presented that aluminum foil is harmful to human health.",
