The sample being found adulterated, after<br \/>\nobtaining necessary sanction, filed the complaint before the Court,<br \/>\nwhich was numbered as Criminal Case No. 1737 of 1988. The trial was<br \/>\ninitiated against the respondent no. 1.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.2<br \/>\nTo prove the case against the present accused, the prosecution has<br \/>\nexamined the witnesses and also produced documentary evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.3<br \/>\nAt the end of trial, after recording the statement of the accused<br \/>\nunder section 313 of Cr.P.C., and hearing arguments on behalf of<br \/>\nprosecution and the defence, the learned trial Judge acquitted the<br \/>\nrespondent no. 1 of all the charges leveled against him by judgment<br \/>\nand order dated 19.5.1993.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.4<br \/>\nBeing aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the aforesaid judgment and<br \/>\norder passed by the trial Court the appellant State has preferred the<br \/>\npresent appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.0<br \/>\nIt was contended by learned APP Mr Pandya that the judgment and order<br \/>\nof the trial Court is against the provisions of law; the trial Court<br \/>\nhas not properly considered the evidence led by the prosecution and<br \/>\nlooking to the provisions of law itself it is established that the<br \/>\nprosecution has proved the whole ingredients of the evidence against<br \/>\nthe present respondent. Learned APP has also taken this court through<br \/>\nthe oral as well as the entire documentary evidence. He further<br \/>\ncontended that the prosecution has already followed the provisions of<br \/>\nPFA Act, but the same was not considered by the learned Judge.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.0<br \/>\nAt the outset it is required to be noted that the principles which<br \/>\nwould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court against<br \/>\nan order of acquittal passed by the trial Court have been very<br \/>\nsuccinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of decisions. In<br \/>\nthe case of<br \/>\nM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala &amp; Anr, reported in<br \/>\n(2006)6 SCC, 39,<br \/>\nthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in<br \/>\nappeal against the order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision,<br \/>\nthe Apex Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;54.\n<\/p>\n<p>In any event the High Court entertained an appeal<br \/>\ntreating to be an appeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising<br \/>\nthe revisional jurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power<br \/>\nagainst a judgment of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in<br \/>\nmind the well-settled principles of law that where two view are<br \/>\npossible, the appellate court should not<br \/>\ninterfere with the finding of acquittal recorded by the court below.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4.1<br \/>\nFurther, in the case of Chandrappa<br \/>\nVs. State of Karnataka, reported in (2007)4 SCC 415<br \/>\nthe Apex<br \/>\nCourt laid down the following principles:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;42.\n<\/p>\n<p>From the above decisions, in our considered view, the following<br \/>\ngeneral principles regarding powers of the appellate court while<br \/>\ndealing with an appeal against an order of acquittal emerge:\n<\/p>\n<p>[1]<br \/>\nAn appellate court has full power to review, reappreciate and<br \/>\nreconsider the evidence upon which the order of acquittal is founded.\n<\/p>\n<p>[2]<br \/>\nThe Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 puts no limitation, restriction<br \/>\nor condition on exercise of such power and an appellate court on the<br \/>\nevidence before it may reach its own conclusion, both on questions of<br \/>\nfact and of law.\n<\/p>\n<p>[3]<br \/>\nVarious expressions, such as, &#8220;substantial and compelling<br \/>\nreasons&#8221;, &#8220;good and sufficient grounds&#8221;, &#8220;very<br \/>\nstrong circumstances&#8221;, &#8220;distorted conclusions&#8221;,<br \/>\n&#8220;glaring mistakes&#8221;, etc. are not intended to curtain<br \/>\nextensive powers of an appellate court in an appeal against<br \/>\nacquittal. Such phraseologies are more in the nature of &#8220;flourishes<br \/>\nof language&#8221; to emphasis the reluctance of an appellate court<br \/>\nto interfere with acquittal than to curtail the power of the court to<br \/>\nreview the evidence and to come to its own conclusion.\n<\/p>\n<p>[4]<br \/>\nAn appellate court, however, must bear in mind that in case of<br \/>\nacquittal there is double presumption in favour of the accused.<br \/>\nFirstly, the presumption of innocence is available to him under the<br \/>\nfundamental principle of criminal jurisprudence that every person<br \/>\nshall be presumed to be innocent unless he is proved guilty by a<br \/>\ncompetent court of law. Secondly, the accused having secured his<br \/>\nacquittal, the presumption of his innocence is further reinforced,<br \/>\nreaffirmed and strengthened by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n<p>[5]<br \/>\nIf two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the<br \/>\nevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the<br \/>\nfinding of acquittal recorded by the trial court.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4.2<br \/>\nThus, it is a settled principle that while exercising appellate<br \/>\npower, even if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis<br \/>\nof the evidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the<br \/>\nfinding of acquittal recorded by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.3<br \/>\nEven in a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State<br \/>\nof Goa V. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\nmore particular in Para 16 of the said decision, the Court has<br \/>\nreiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases. In para 16 of<br \/>\nthe said decision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>4.4<br \/>\nSimilar principle has been laid down by the Apex Court<br \/>\nin the cases of State<br \/>\nof<br \/>\nUttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh &amp; Ors, reported in 2007 AIR SCW<br \/>\n5553 and<br \/>\nin Girja<br \/>\nPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. state of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.<br \/>\nThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of<br \/>\nacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.5<br \/>\nIt is also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the<br \/>\nappellate court is not<br \/>\nrequired to re-write the judgment or to give fresh reasonings, when<br \/>\nthe reasons assigned by the Court below are found to be just and<br \/>\nproper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex Court in the case of<br \/>\nState<br \/>\nof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417,<br \/>\nwherein,<br \/>\nit is held as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;\n<\/p>\n<p>This court has<br \/>\nobserved in Girija Nandini Devi V. Bigendra<br \/>\nNandini Chaudhary (1967)1 SCR 93: (AIR 1967 SC 1124) that<br \/>\nit is not the duty of the appellate court when it agrees with the<br \/>\nview of the trial court on the evidence to repeat the narration of<br \/>\nthe evidence or to reiterate the reasons given by the trial court<br \/>\nexpression of general agreement with the reasons given by the Court<br \/>\nthe decision of which is under appeal, will<br \/>\nordinarily suffice.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>4.6<br \/>\nThus, in case the appellate court agrees with the reasons and the<br \/>\nopinion given by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is<br \/>\nnot necessary.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.0<br \/>\nI have gone through the judgment and order passed by the trial court.<br \/>\nI have also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led by<br \/>\nthe trial court and also considered the submissions made by learned<br \/>\nAPP for the appellant-State. The trial court while considering the<br \/>\noral as well as documentary evidence has clearly observed that the<br \/>\nprosecution has failed to follow the prescribed rules of PFA Act.<br \/>\nEven in the present appeal, nothing is produced or pointed out to<br \/>\nrebut the conclusion of the trial Court.  Thus, from the evidence<br \/>\nitself it is established that the prosecution has not proved its case<br \/>\nbeyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.0<br \/>\nMr. Jani learned APP is not in a position to show any evidence to<br \/>\ntake a contrary view of the matter or that the approach of the trial<br \/>\ncourt is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that the decision is<br \/>\nperverse or that the trial court has ignored the material evidence on<br \/>\nrecord.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.0<br \/>\nIn the above view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that<br \/>\nthe trial court was completely justified in acquitting the respondent<br \/>\nof the charges leveled against him.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.0<br \/>\nI find that the findings recorded by the trial court are absolutely<br \/>\njust and proper and in recording the said findings, no illegality or<br \/>\ninfirmity has been committed by it.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.0<br \/>\nI am, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate<br \/>\nconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the court<br \/>\nbelow and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same. Hence the<br \/>\nappeal is hereby dismissed. R &amp; P to be sent back to the trial<br \/>\nCourt, forthwith. Bail bond, if any, stands cancelled.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>SAIYED, J.)<\/p>\n<p>sas<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court The vs The Present Appeal on 29 November, 2010 Author: Z.K.Saiyed,&amp;Nbsp;
