The Food Inspector purchased the sample of 400 Grm.<br \/>\nGroundnut oil (Sonarupa) and after following due procedure, he sent<br \/>\nthe sample to the Public Analyst. As per the report of the Public<br \/>\nAnalyst, the said sample does not conform the standards and not found<br \/>\nas per the provisions prescribed under the Prevention of Food<br \/>\nAdulteration Act, 1954. Thereafter, the Food Inspector obtained<br \/>\npermission of the Local Health Authority and filed complaint against<br \/>\nthe present accused for the offences punishable under Sections 2(ai)\n<\/p>\n<p>(a)(b)(c), 2(ia),(m), 7(i), 7(v) and 16 of the Prevention of Food<br \/>\nAdulteration Act before the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate<br \/>\nFirst Class, Kathor.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.2\t\tNecessary<br \/>\ninvestigation was carried out and statements of several witnesses<br \/>\nwere recorded and thereafter, the chargesheet was filed against the<br \/>\naccused persons before the court of learned JMFC, Kadhor.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.3\tTo<br \/>\nprove the case against the present accused, the prosecution has<br \/>\nexamined in all two witnesses  and also produced       documentary<br \/>\nevidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.4\tAt<br \/>\nthe end of trial,  after hearing arguments on behalf of prosecution<br \/>\nand the defence, the  learned trial Judge acquitted the present<br \/>\nrespondents of all the charges leveled against them by judgment and<br \/>\norder dated 12.3.2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.5\tBeing<br \/>\naggrieved by and dissatisfied with the aforesaid judgment and order<br \/>\npassed by the trial Court the appellant State has preferred the<br \/>\npresent appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tIt<br \/>\nwas contended by learned APP that the judgment and order of the trial<br \/>\nCourt is against the provisions of law; the trial Court has not<br \/>\nproperly considered the evidence led by the prosecution and looking<br \/>\nto the provisions of law itself it is established that the<br \/>\ncomplainant &#8211; Food Inspector has proved the whole ingredients<br \/>\nof the evidence against the present respondents. Learned APP has also<br \/>\ntaken this court  through the oral as well  as the entire documentary<br \/>\nevidences.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tIt<br \/>\nis a settled principle that while exercising appellate power, even if<br \/>\ntwo reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the evidence<br \/>\non record, the appellate court should not disturb the finding  of<br \/>\nacquittal recorded by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tEven<br \/>\nin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/585040\/\">State<br \/>\nof Goa V. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported<\/a> in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\nthe  Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases.<br \/>\nIn para 16 of the said decision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;16.\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 judgement<br \/>\ndelivered by the  Court below. However, the appellate court has a<br \/>\npower to review the evidence if it is of the view that the conclusion<br \/>\narrived at by the Court below is perverse and the Court has committed<br \/>\na manifest error of law and ignored the material evidence on record.<br \/>\nA duty is cast upon the appellate court, in such circumstances, to<br \/>\nre-appreciate the evidence to arrive to a just decision on the basis<br \/>\nof material placed on record to find out whether any of the accused<br \/>\nis connected with the commission of the crime he is charged with.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tThus,<br \/>\nafter considering ratio laid down by Apex Court in  catena of<br \/>\ndecisions and in case the  appellate court agrees with the reasons<br \/>\nand the opinion given by the lower court, then the discussion of<br \/>\nevidence is not necessary.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tI<br \/>\nhave gone through the judgment and order passed by the trial court. I<br \/>\nhave also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led before<br \/>\nthe trial court and also considered the submissions made by learned<br \/>\nAPP for the appellant-State. I also perused the order of the learned<br \/>\nJMFC, Kathod.  As per the provisions of Section 13(2) of the Act, the<br \/>\nnotice is not sent to the parties which is at Exhibit 111. From the<br \/>\nperusal of the evidence of witness Chandrasinh Patanvadiya, who is a<br \/>\noffice clerk, he has admitted in cross-examination that he has not<br \/>\nprepared the notice under Section 13(2) of the Act and he has not<br \/>\nproduced any evidence to prove that the notice was sent by him. The<br \/>\nnotices are very well produced, but it is not established on record<br \/>\nthat the notices were sent to the accused person. Even the<br \/>\nprosecution has never bothered to examine the Assistant Commissioner<br \/>\nof LHA. Therefore, it crystal clear that the complainant has not<br \/>\nfollowed the provisions under Section 13(2) and Rule 14 of the Act.<br \/>\nThe trial court has clearly recorded a finding aforesaid and held<br \/>\nthat the prosecution has totally failed to prove documentary evidence<br \/>\nin connection of the complaint lodged against the accused. Thus, from<br \/>\nthe evidence itself it is established that the prosecution has not<br \/>\nproved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tLearned<br \/>\nAPP is not in a position to show any evidence to take a contrary view<br \/>\nof the matter or that the approach of the trial court is vitiated by<br \/>\nsome manifest illegality or that the decision is perverse or that the<br \/>\ntrial court has ignored the material evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tIn<br \/>\nthe above view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the<br \/>\ntrial court was completely justified in acquitting the respondents of<br \/>\nthe charges leveled against them.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tI<br \/>\nfind 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>11.\tI<br \/>\nam, 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. Bail bond, if any, stands cancelled.<br \/>\nRecord and proceedings to be sent back to trial Court, forthwith.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>SAIYED, J.)<\/p>\n<p>ynvyas<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court State vs The on 24 November, 2010 Author: Z.K.Saiyed,&amp;Nbsp;
