SUPREME COURT DISMISSES COKE'S PLEA IN ADULTERATION CASE
Coca-Cola, received a setback with the Supreme Court dismissing a petition filed by the company's local arm challenging criminal proceedings initiated against it by the Rajasthan Government in an alleged "adulteration case". A bench of Justices BN Aggrawal and GS Singhvi also expressed anger over the fact that despite registration of a criminal case against Hindustan Coca Cola Beverages Pvt Ltd, manufacturers of Coca-Cola, and its officials did not come up for hearing even once in six years. "It indicates that the entire criminal justice system is rotting", the bench observed during the brief hearing of the case.
