NEW DELHI: Favouring a mandatory jail term and at least five-fold increase in the fine proposed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill (BNS) adulteration of food and drink intended for sale, a parliamentary panel is said to have recommended that it be made punishable with a minimum six months in jail, along with a minimum fine of Rs 25,000. Clause 272 of the BNS Bill, introduced in Lok Sabha in August, proposes up to six months in jail, or a maximum Rs 5,000 fine, or both, for adulterating food or drink, knowing that it is intended for sale. Also finding as inadequate the 'imprisonment up to six months, or up to Rs 5,000 fine, or both' proposed in Clause 273 of the BNS Bill for whoever knowingly sells offers or exposes for sale any article that has become noxious or unfit for food or drink, the panel is likely to suggest the punishment be raised to a minimum six months in jail, with a minimum fine of Rs 10,000. The panel suggests a minimum six months in jail and a minimum fine of Rs 25,000 for adulteration, and a minimum six months in jail and a minimum fine of Rs 10,000 for selling unfit food or drink. The panel believes that stricter penalties are necessary to address the serious health problems caused by consuming adulterated or noxious food.
