(J) (Oral)<\/p>\n<p>          Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C<\/p>\n<p>invoking the inherent jurisdiction of this Court for quashing of FIR No.52,<\/p>\n<p>dated 11.5.2006 under Sections 272, 420, 120-B IPC read with Section 7\/16<\/p>\n<p>of the Prevention of Food Adultration Act, registered at Police Station<\/p>\n<p>Haibwal, District Ludhiana, on the ground that criminal complaint under<\/p>\n<p>Section 7 and 16 of the Food Adultration Act has separatly been filed by the<\/p>\n<p>Food Inspector Sukh Rao and the petitioners have been summoned for<\/p>\n<p>11.10.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>          It is contended that the case of the prosecution in both the State<\/p>\n<p>cases i.e. in FIR and complaint is to the effect that on 11.5.2006 the Food<\/p>\n<p>Inspector along with Dr. Harjot Pal Singh, GFI under the supervision of Dr.<\/p>\n<p>Rajinder Singh DHO and Jaswiner Singh, ASI, Police Station Haibowal,<\/p>\n<p>Ludhiana, had visited the premises of petitioners in Radhe Shyam Colony,<\/p>\n<p>Panjpeer Road, Haibowal Khurd, Ludhiana, where the petitioners were<\/p>\n<p>found present. They were in possession of 60 Kg Ghee kept in a big Tub<\/p>\n<p>meant for sale to public for human consumption.           After the necessary<\/p>\n<p>formalities of sampling, sealing and purchase, the sample was sent for<\/p>\n<p>testing to public analyist.

Since learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>for the petitioner has not referred to any material which forms part of the<\/p>\n<p>charge-sheet under Section 173(2) Cr.P.C, it cannot be said with certainty<\/p>\n<p>whether the ingredients of offence under Section 420 IPC, are made out<\/p>\n<p>against the petitioner. It is not known whether any person who had been<\/p>\n<p>cheated was made a witness in the State case i.e. FIR No.           52, dated<\/p>\n<p>11.5.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Learned State counsel has contended that in view of provisions of<\/p>\n<p>Section 155(4) Cr.P.C when a case relates to two or more offences of which<\/p>\n<p>at least one is cognizable the case shall be deemed to be a cognizable case,<\/p>\n<p>notwithstanding that the other offences are non-cognizable. It has also been<\/p>\n<p>argued that in view of provisions of Section 156(2) Cr.P.C., no proceeding<\/p>\n<p>of police officer in any such case shall at any stage be called in question on<\/p>\n<p>the ground that the case was one which such officer was not empowered<\/p>\n<p>under this section to investigate.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Learned counsel for the petitioners faced with the said situation<\/p>\n<p>has submitted that the petitioner would be satisfied in case a direction is<\/p>\n<p>issued that the criminal complaint filed by the Food Inspector and the case<\/p>\n<p>registered by the Police are clubbed together to prevent unnecessary<\/p>\n<p>harassment to the petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>          I have gone through the contents of the complaint as well as FIR.<\/p>\n<p>The FIR was registered on 11.5.2006 whereas the criminal complaint<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Crl.

No. M-76089 of 2008                                 -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>regarding the same subject matter was filed in August 2006.<\/p>\n<p>          I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners, State Counsel and<\/p>\n<p>carefully applied my mind to the facts of the present case. So far as event<\/p>\n<p>from which criminal prosecution has been launched against the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>is concerned, continuation of separate proceedings against the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>would not be in the interest of justice and would rather be an abuse of<\/p>\n<p>process of Court. The petitioners cannot be tried for offence under Section<\/p>\n<p>7 and 16 of the Food Adulteration Act in a complaint filed by Food<\/p>\n<p>Inspector as well as by initiating separate proceedings after registration of<\/p>\n<p>case under Section 154 Cr.P.C.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Since the entire charge-sheet filed in the criminal case is not<\/p>\n<p>available, it is deemed appropriate in the interest of justice to dispose of this<\/p>\n<p>petition with a direction to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ludhiana to<\/p>\n<p>entrust both the cases i.e complaint- State Vs. Sunil Kumar and criminal<\/p>\n<p>case &#8211; State Vs. Sunil Kumar, arisen out of the FIR No. 52, dated 11.5.2006<\/p>\n<p>to the same Magistrate. It is directed that proceedings in both the matters<\/p>\n<p>will be taken up simultaneously by the same Magistrate. It will be open to<\/p>\n<p>the Magistrate taking cognizance of the offence to decide any of the cases<\/p>\n<p>before another. It will be open to the said Court to apply the principles of<\/p>\n<p>Section 300 Cr.P.C for adjudication of the second criminal case<\/p>\n<p>          With the above observation, this petition is disposed of. It is<\/p>\n<p>further directed that the Court taking cognizance of both the cases would<\/p>\n<p>make earnest endeavor to dispose of both the case within a period of six<\/p>\n<p>months after the transfer of both the cases to one Court.<\/p>\n<pre>May 26, 2009                                                   (M.M.S.Bedi)\ntripti                                                           Judge\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Sanjeev Kumar &amp; Anr vs State Of Punjab &amp; Ors on 24 May, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH -.- Crl.
