Single Lab Report Not Enough! Supreme Court Quashes Drug Firm's Blacklisting In Madhya Pradesh

The Supreme Court quashed Madhya Pradesh Public Health Services Corporation Limited's three-year blacklisting of JPEE Drugs and two-year product debarment. Authorities relied on a single laboratory report declaring four medicine batches substandard, without conducting mandatory second-laboratory testing. The batches expired before retesting, prompting the court to overturn the penalties imposed.
