It is the case<br \/>\n\tof the prosecution that that on 18th July 2007 the<br \/>\n\tappellant along with his Peon visited the shop of respondent<br \/>\n\tno.1-accused and purchased 900 gms. of Tomato Sauce after paying<br \/>\n\tconsideration in presence of panch witness. It is also the case of<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution that after following due procedure of sealing, the<br \/>\n\tsample was sent for analysis. On examination, the Public Analyst<br \/>\n\tfound that the said sample was adulterated and not upto the standard<br \/>\n\tas prescribed under the Rules. Therefore, after following the due<br \/>\n\tprocedure, complaint was filed against the respondent no.1-accused<br \/>\n\tin the Court of learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Ahmedabad for<br \/>\n\tviolation of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act.\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\trespondent no.1-accused from the charges alleged against him by the<br \/>\n\tJudgment and Order of acquittal dated 18th November 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said Judgment and Order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal dated 18th November 2009 passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tMetropolitan Magistrate, Court No.6, Ahmedabad, in Criminal Case<br \/>\n\tNo.22699 of 2007, the appellant has preferred the above mentioned<br \/>\n\tCriminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>Heard<br \/>\n\tMs.Jirga Jhaveri, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the<br \/>\n\tappellant and Mr.D.C. Sejpal, learned Additional Public Prosecutor<br \/>\n\tappearing on behalf of the respondent No.2-State. I have also gone<br \/>\n\tthrough the papers and the Judgment and Order passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tMagistrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>Ms.Jirga<br \/>\n\tJhaveri, learned counsel for the appellant, has contended that the<br \/>\n\tJudgment and Order of acquittal passed by the learned Magistrate is<br \/>\n\tnot proper, legal and it is erroneous. She has also argued that the<br \/>\n\tlearned Magistrate has not considered the evidence of the witnesses.<br \/>\n\tShe has argued that the learned Magistrate has not considered the<br \/>\n\tfact that the Food Inspector has followed the proper procedure while<br \/>\n\tcollecting the sample, etc. are just and proper. The sample was<br \/>\n\tseized and sealed properly. Yet, the learned Magistrate has not<br \/>\n\tconsidered the evidence of prosecution. She, therefore, contended<br \/>\n\tthat the order of acquittal passed by the learned Magistrate is<br \/>\n\twithout appreciating the facts and evidence on record and is<br \/>\n\trequired to be quashed and set aside by this Hon&#8217;ble Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the Appellate<br \/>\n\tCourt is not required to re-write the judgment or to give fresh<br \/>\n\treasonings when the Appellate Court is in agreement with the reasons<br \/>\n\tassigned by the trial Court acquitting the accused. In the instant<br \/>\n\tcase, this Court is in full agreement with the reasons given and<br \/>\n\tfindings recorded by the trial Court while acquitting the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused and adopting the said reasons and for the<br \/>\n\treasons aforesaid, in my view, the impugned judgment is just, legal<br \/>\n\tand proper and requires no interference by this Court. Hence, this<br \/>\n\tappeal requires to be dismissed.\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<br \/>\n\tin (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\n\tthe Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases.\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<br \/>\n\tand in 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 order of acquittal passed by the learned Magistrate. 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\tadvocates for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\ttrial Court has, after appreciating the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence, found that prosecution has failed to follow the mandatory<br \/>\n\tprovision of Section 13(2) of the Act. It is also observed by the<br \/>\n\tlearned Magistrate that prosecution has failed to follow the<br \/>\n\tmandatory provision of Rule 14 of the Rules. Even it is also<br \/>\n\tobserved by the learned Magistrate that the Food Inspector has not<br \/>\n\tfollowed the proper procedure of adding Formalin in the sample.<br \/>\n\tTherefore, report of the Public Analyst is not acceptable. The Trial<br \/>\n\tCourt has observed that there are serious lacuna in the oral as well<br \/>\n\tas documentary evidence of prosecution. Nothing is produced on<br \/>\n\trecord of this appeal to rebut the concrete findings of the Trial<br \/>\n\tCourt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charges against the<br \/>\n\trespondent no.1-accused in the present appeal. The prosecution has<br \/>\n\tmiserably failed to prove the case against the respondent<br \/>\n\tno.1-accused. Thus, from the evidence itself it is established that<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Ms.Jhaveri,<br \/>\n\tlearned counsel for the appellant, 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 respondent<br \/>\n\tNo.1-accused of the charges levelled against him.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tfind that the findings recorded by the trial Court are absolutely<br \/>\n\tjust and 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\ttrial Court and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.<br \/>\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed. The<br \/>\n\tJudgment and Order of acquittal dated 18th<br \/>\n\tNovember 2009 passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Court<br \/>\n\tNo.6, Ahmedabad, in Criminal Case No.22699 of 2007 is hereby<br \/>\n\tconfirmed. Bail bond, if any, shall stands discharged. Record and<br \/>\n\tProceedings, if any, be sent back to the trial Court concerned,<br \/>\n\tforthwith.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.\n<\/p>\n<p>K.
