Food stuff

Food stuff, the term ' foodstuff' is ambiguous. In one sense it has a narrow meaning and is limited to articles which are eaten as food for purposes of nutrition and nourishment and so would exclude condiments and spices such as yeast, salt, pepper, baking powder and turmeric. In a wider sense, it includes everything that goes in to the preparation of food proper (as understood in the narrow sense) to make it more palatable and digestible In my opinion the problems posed cannot be answered in the abstract and must be viewed in relation to its background and context, State of Bombay v. Virkumar Gulabchand Shah, AIR 1952 SC 335: (1952) SCR 877. [Essential Supplies (Temporary powers) Act, 1946, s. 2(9)]'Foodstuff' need not necessarily mean only the final food product which is consumed. It also includes raw food articles which may after processing be used as food by human beings, K. Janardhan Pillai v.

Agricultural produce

Agricultural produce, Sugar is 'Agricultural Produce', Kishan Lal v. State of Rajasthan, 1990 Supp SCC 742 (745): AIR 1990 SC 2569. [Rajasthan Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1961 (38 of 1961), s. 2(1) (i)]The term 'agricultural produce' according to its definition contained under s. 2(a) of the Act means all produce, whether processed or not, of agricultural, horticulture, animal husbandry or forest as specified in the Schedule to the Act. Sheep-hair is consequently an agricultural produce within the meaning of the Act so that the various provisions therein with regard to agricultural produce are applicable to sheep-hair also, Modanlal Manoharlal v.

Goods

Goods, Computer programs are the product of an intellectual process, but once implanted in a medium they are widely distributed to computer owners. An analogy can be drawn to a compact-disc recording of an orchestral rendition. The music is produced by the artistry of musicians and in itself is not a 'good', but when transferred to a laser-readable disc it becomes a readily merchant-able commodity. Similarly, when a professor deliv-ers a lecture, it is not a good, but, when transcribed as a book, it becomes a good. That a computer program may be copyrightable as intellectual property does not alter the fact that once in the form of a floppy disc or other medium, the program is tangible, moveable and available in the marketplace. The fact that some programs may be tailored for specific purposes need not alter their status as 'goods' because the Code definition includes 'specially manufactured goods', Advent Systems Ltd. v. Unisys Corpn., 925 F. 2d 670 3dCir 1991. Associated Cement Compa...
