On examination, the Public<br \/>\n\tAnalyst declared the said sample as  misbranded . The accused<br \/>\n\tno.1 has purchased the said pouch from the accused no.2, the accused<br \/>\n\tno.2 has purchased the pouch from the supplier-accused no.4 and<br \/>\n\taccused no.3 is a nominee of accused no.4.  Thereafter, after<br \/>\n\tobtaining necessary permission from the Local Health Authority,<br \/>\n\tfiled a complaint in the Court of the learned Chief Judicial<br \/>\n\tMagistrate, Surendranagar.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter<br \/>\n\tthe trial was conducted before the learned Magistrate. To prove the<br \/>\n\tcase of the prosecution, prosecution has produced oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence. After considering the oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence, the learned Magistrate has acquitted the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused from the charges alleged against them by the<br \/>\n\tjudgment and order dated 19th April 2004.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said judgment and order dated<br \/>\n\t19th April 2004 passed by the learned Magistrate in<br \/>\n\tCriminal Case No. 115 of 2000, the appellant-State of Gujarat, has<br \/>\n\tpreferred the above mentioned Criminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave heard Mr. H.L. Jani, learned Additional Public Prosecutor,<br \/>\n\tappearing on behalf of the appellant-State and learned advocate,<br \/>\n\tappearing on behalf of respondents-accused. I have also gone through<br \/>\n\tthe papers and the judgment and order passed by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tH.L. Jani, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the appellant,<br \/>\n\thas taken me through the evidence of prosecution witnesses and the<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence and submitted that from the above evidence it<br \/>\n\tis established that the prosecution has successfully proved its case<br \/>\n\tbeyond reasonable doubt. He has contended that the witnesses have<br \/>\n\tsupported the case of the prosecution and the learned Magistrate has<br \/>\n\tcommitted grave error in disbelieving and discarding the evidence of<br \/>\n\twitnesses. He also contended that the learned Magistrate has not<br \/>\n\tconsidered the fact that the Food Inspector has followed the proper<br \/>\n\tprocedure while collecting the sample. He, therefore, contended that<br \/>\n\tthe judgment and order passed by the learned Magistrate is without<br \/>\n\tappreciating the facts and evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate for the respondents-accused has supported the judgment and<br \/>\n\torder of the Trial Court and contended that the Food Inspector has<br \/>\n\tnot followed the mandatory rules and the prosecution has failed to<br \/>\n\testablish prima-facie case against the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave gone through the judgment of the Trial Court. I have also<br \/>\n\tperused the reasons assigned by the learned Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>At<br \/>\n\tthe outset it is required to be noted that the principles which<br \/>\n\twould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court<br \/>\n\tagainst an order of acquittal passed by the Trial Court have been<br \/>\n\tvery succinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of<br \/>\n\tdecisions. In the case of<br \/>\n\tM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala &amp; Anr, reported<br \/>\n\tin (2006)6 SCC, 39,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in<br \/>\n\tappeal against the order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 54.<br \/>\n\tIn any event, the High Court entertained an appeal treating to be<br \/>\n\tan appeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising the<br \/>\n\trevisional jurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power<br \/>\n\tagainst a judgment of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in<br \/>\n\tmind the well-settled principles of law that where two view are<br \/>\n\tpossible, the appellate court should not interfere with the finding<br \/>\n\tof acquittal recorded by the court below.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tit is a settled principle that while exercising appellate power,<br \/>\n\teven if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the<br \/>\n\tevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the<br \/>\n\tfinding of acquittal recorded by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Even<br \/>\n\tin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State<br \/>\n\tof Goa Vs. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\n\tthe Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases.<br \/>\n\tIn para 16 of the said decision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 16.\t\tFrom<br \/>\nthe aforesaid decisions, it is apparent that while exercising the<br \/>\npowers in appeal against the order of acquittal, the Court of appeal<br \/>\nwould not ordinarily interfere with the order of acquittal unless the<br \/>\napproach of the lower Court is vitiated by some manifest illegality<br \/>\nand the conclusion arrived at would not be arrived at by any<br \/>\nreasonable person and, therefore, the decision is to be characterized<br \/>\nas perverse. Merely because two views are possible, the Court of<br \/>\nappeal would not take the view which would upset the judgment<br \/>\ndelivered by the Court below. However, the appellate<br \/>\ncourt has a power to review the evidence if it is of the view that<br \/>\nthe conclusion arrived at by the Court below is perverse and the<br \/>\nCourt has committed a manifest error of law and ignored the material<br \/>\non record. A duty is cast upon the appellate court, in such<br \/>\ncircumstances, to re-appreciate the evidence to arrive to a just<br \/>\ndecision on the basis of material placed on record to find out<br \/>\nwhether any of the accused is connected with the commission of the<br \/>\ncrime he is charged with.\n<\/p>\n<p>Similar<br \/>\n\tprinciple has been laid down by the Apex Court in the cases of State<br \/>\n\tof Uttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh &amp; Ors, reported in 2007 AIR<br \/>\n\tSCW 5553 and<br \/>\n\tin Girja<br \/>\n\tPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. state of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.<br \/>\n\tThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the<br \/>\n\tappellate court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give<br \/>\n\tfresh reasoning, when the reasons assigned by the Court below are<br \/>\n\tfound to be just and proper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex<br \/>\n\tCourt in the case of State<br \/>\n\tof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tin case the appellate court agrees with the reasons and the opinion<br \/>\n\tgiven by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is not<br \/>\n\tnecessary.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave gone through<br \/>\n\tthe judgment and order passed by the Trial Court. I have also<br \/>\n\tperused the oral as well as documentary evidence led before the<br \/>\n\tTrial Court and also considered the submissions made by learned<br \/>\n\tAdvocate for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\tTrial Court has, after appreciating the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence, found that the Food Inspector has committed breach of<br \/>\n\tmandatory provisions of the Rules while taking the sample.  The said<br \/>\n\tplastic bag was not sealed also. The Trial Court has also observed<br \/>\n\tthat the sample was taken in plastic bag, which was not as per the<br \/>\n\tRule 14 of the Rules.  The prosecution has also breached Rule 14, 16<br \/>\n\tand 17(A) of the Rules.  It is also observed that the report of the<br \/>\n\tPublic Analyst is not supplied to the accused and thus, Rule 9(A) of<br \/>\n\tthe Rules is also breached. The Trial Court has observed that there<br \/>\n\tare serious lacunae in the oral as well as documentary evidence of<br \/>\n\tprosecution. Nothing is produced on record of this appeal to rebut<br \/>\n\tthe concrete findings of the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charges against the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused in the present appeal. The prosecution has<br \/>\n\tmiserably failed to prove the case against the respondents-accused.<br \/>\n\tThus, from the evidence itself it is established that the<br \/>\n\tprosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tAdditional Public Prosecutor is not in a position to show any<br \/>\n\tevidence to take a contrary view in the matter or that the approach<br \/>\n\tof the Trial Court is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that<br \/>\n\tthe decision is perverse or that the trial court has ignored the<br \/>\n\tmaterial evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tabove view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the<br \/>\n\tTrial Court was completely justified in acquitting the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused of the charges levelled against them. I find<br \/>\n\tthat the findings recorded by the Trial Court are absolutely just<br \/>\n\tand proper and in recording the said findings, no illegality or<br \/>\n\tinfirmity has been committed by it.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tam, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate<br \/>\n\tconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the<br \/>\n\tcourt below and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.<br \/>\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed. Record<br \/>\n\tand Proceedings to be sent back to the Trial Court, forthwith.  Bail<br \/>\n\tbonds, if any, shall stands cancelled.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.\n<\/p>\n<p>K.
