CRL.M.C. NO. 2952 OF 2004
---------------------
Dated this the 19th day of February, 2007
O R D E R
Petitioner, who is being prosecuted for offences punishable
under Section 2(ia), 7(1), 16(1) a(1) Section 17 and Sub Rule 28
of Rule 49 & Rule 50 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act
and the Rules has filed this petition under Section 482 of the
Code of Criminal Procedure praying for quashing the above
proceedings.
Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having
perused the materials on record, I am of the view that no
interference is warranted in the matter at this stage. Learned
counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner may be allowed
to raise all the contentions before the Trial Court including the
question of maintainability of the complaint. I find no reason
why the court below shall not consider the various contentions
that may be urged by the petitioner at the appropriate stage.
With that liberty reserved in favour of the petitioner, this Crl.M.C.
is closed. It is made clear that I have not considered the merits
of any contentions raised by the petitioner in this petition.
