Accordingly today after perusing the record and<br \/>\nproceedings and hearing the learned advocate for the applicant, this<br \/>\nCourt is of the view that the leave itself is required to be refused<br \/>\nfor the following reasons:-\n<\/p>\n<p>(3)\tShort<br \/>\nfacts leading to filing of this proceedings i.e. application for<br \/>\nseeking leave to appeal and appeal deserve to be set out as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>(4)\tThe<br \/>\noriginal complainant- Food Inspector in discharge of his duties on<br \/>\n15th<br \/>\nSeptember,1995 at about 9:00 O&#8217;clock in the morning visited M\/s.<br \/>\nMajestic Provisions Store and found accused no.2 vending the edible<br \/>\nitems called Masala, Piper mint, biscuits etc.  After notifying his<br \/>\nintention to collect the sample food article known in vernacular as<br \/>\nSpecial<br \/>\nAlchie<br \/>\nRaspatti,<br \/>\nin presence of Panch Witness<br \/>\n, he purchased the said food article in its packet.  After sealing it<br \/>\nand affixing signature etc. on the said food article in accordance<br \/>\nwith law, one part of the sample food article was sent to the public<br \/>\nanalyst and remaining two parts were sent to the Local Health<br \/>\nAuthority.  The report of the public analyst indicated that the food<br \/>\narticle was found to be having Sacrene as one of the ingredients as<br \/>\nwell as colouring agent and did not mention the batch number, lot<br \/>\nnumber etc. on the packet.  Thus, it was found to be misbranded and<br \/>\nhence the prosecution was required to be lodged, which was lodged<br \/>\nafter obtaining sanction from the Local Health Authority.\n<\/p>\n<p>(5)\tThe<br \/>\nCourt has noted that during the Trial, the accused no.1 had passed<br \/>\naway and hence the case qua him was abated. The accused no.2 was the<br \/>\nperson who  in fact was  vending at the place. Accused no.3 is a firm<br \/>\nwhich is responsible for production of the said Raspatti namely M\/s.<br \/>\nNew Ashok Khari Center. Accused nos.4 and 5 were roped in as partners<br \/>\nof the said firm.  The Court, after recording number of lacunas in<br \/>\nthe case of the prosecution, recorded acquittal vide its order dated<br \/>\n31.3.2008, which is impugned in the present appeal and leave to<br \/>\nappeal.  The Court has perused the deposition of Food<br \/>\nInspector-original complainant at Exh.44.  In his cross-examination,<br \/>\nhe admitted that accused no.2 informed him when he visited the shop<br \/>\nthat he did not happen to be the owner of the shop.  He also admitted<br \/>\nthat the sample was purchased in packed condition.  He also admitted<br \/>\nthat the packing had not been broken from anywhere. He also submitted<br \/>\nthat the notice was issued to the vendor only.  He admitted that<br \/>\nExh.67 is containing signature of one L.L. Raval as Local Health<br \/>\nAuthority and no date is mentioned thereunder.  He admitted that this<br \/>\nExh.67 did not bear any office<br \/>\nseal. The date of sanctioning<br \/>\nthe prosecution is 18.7.1996.  He pleaded ignorance with regard to<br \/>\nShri L.L. Raval being only Senior Drugs Inspector and not Local<br \/>\nHealth Authority.  He pleaded ignorance with regard to suggestions<br \/>\nmade in respect of Shri L.L. Raval in other case, where it was said<br \/>\nthat Shri Raval who has acted as the sanctioning authority did not<br \/>\nhave any authority to sanction lodging of prosecution.  The Trial<br \/>\nCourt has appreciated these aspects and appreciated that while<br \/>\nrecording the deposition of Shri<br \/>\nL.L. Raval, who was examined at Exh.169, he admitted that he was<br \/>\nholding additional charge of the post of Local Health Authority. Now<br \/>\nthis fact is proved and when the sanctioning authority is said to<br \/>\nhave no due authority to sanction prosecution as he lacked the<br \/>\nstatutory power to sanction prosecution on account of he not being<br \/>\nappointed statutorily, he Could not have sanctioned the prosecution.<br \/>\nThis deals a serious blow to the case of the prosecution.  However,<br \/>\napart from the aforesaid serious lacuna, the Trial Court has also<br \/>\nrecorded lacuna in respect of the food article not been misbranded in<br \/>\nasmuchas, the said food article is nowhere figuring in Appendix-B and<br \/>\nit was, thus a proprietary item, which was not required to be<br \/>\ncontaining the batch number, lot number etc. on its packing.\n<\/p>\n<p>(6)\tIn<br \/>\nview of the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, when<br \/>\nsanction to lodge prosecution itself was found to be lacking in<br \/>\nasmuchas the sanctioning authority namely Shri Raval did not have<br \/>\nstatutory authority to order prosecution.  The case of the<br \/>\nprosecution was, therefore, standing on a edifice, which did not have<br \/>\nany base. The order of acquittal,<br \/>\ntherefore in my view did not suffer from any infirmity so as to call<br \/>\nfor any interference under Section 378 of the Code of Criminal<br \/>\nProcedure,1973. Hence the leave itself is refused.  The application<br \/>\nis disposed of.  As the leave is refused, the appeal itself would<br \/>\nalso stand dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(S.R.BRAHMBHATT,J.)<\/p>\n<p>Vahid<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Sanjiv vs Babu on 23 August, 2010 Author: S.R.Brahmbhatt,&amp;Nbsp;
