Shah for the applicant-appellant at length<br \/>\nand has perused the documents pertaining to the case produced by her,<br \/>\nwhich has been ordered to be taken on record. The copies of the<br \/>\nrelevant documentary evidences are  produced on record. This Court is<br \/>\nof the view that leave itself is not required to be granted for the<br \/>\nfollowing reasons:-\n<\/p>\n<p>3.1\tThe<br \/>\noriginal complainant-Food Inspector in discharge of  his duties on<br \/>\n4.10.1999 visited the premises of the accused No.1 along with the<br \/>\nPanch witness and after introducing himself as such and verifying the<br \/>\nlicence etc. found that the said accused were producing mineral water<br \/>\nand packing them for sale in pouches. Around 2,500 pouches were lying<br \/>\nin the premises. After notifying his intention of collecting the<br \/>\nsample for analysis and issuing requisite notice in Form No.6, the<br \/>\nFood Inspector purchased 36 pouches each containing 250 ml. of<br \/>\nmineral water and paid the price thereof. Thereafter, the Food<br \/>\nInspector divided it into 3 equal parts and after sealing and<br \/>\naffixing etc. in presence of panch and completing the formalities,<br \/>\none sample article was sent to the Public Analyst, Vadodara and<br \/>\nremaining two parts were sent to the Local (Health) Authority,<br \/>\nSurendranagar. The Public Analyst  vide its report  dated 21.10.1999<br \/>\ndeclared the sample article to be in conformity with the standards<br \/>\nlaid downin P.F.A.Rules. However, concerned authority declared that<br \/>\nas requisite tests were not carried out by the Public Analyst while<br \/>\nexamining the pouches of the mineral water, the report was said to be<br \/>\nerroneous and hence under Section 13(2)(e) of the PFA Act, the<br \/>\nremaining part was sent to the Public Analyst, Municipal Corporation,<br \/>\nVadodara on 1.11.1999. The Public Analyst report was received on<br \/>\n14.12.1999 wherein it was found that the fluoride content was found<br \/>\nto be more than the prescribed and a bacteria of E.coli  was also<br \/>\nfound. The Second report by the second Public Analyst contained<br \/>\nopinion with regard to article not in conformity with the provisions<br \/>\nof Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955. The requisite<br \/>\nsanction was obtained on 29.2.2000 which was accorded on 29.2.2000<br \/>\nand complaint came to be lodged on 1.3.2000. The Court, after<br \/>\nrecording plea of not guilty, framed charges, recorded the evidence<br \/>\nand the statements of the accused were  recorded under Section 313 of<br \/>\nthe Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and after appreciation of the<br \/>\nsame, acquitted the accused of the charge of committing the offence<br \/>\npunishable  under Section 2(1-a)(m), Sections 7(1) and 7(5) and under<br \/>\nSection 16 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 vide<br \/>\norder dated 29.4.2009 impugned in the present leave to appeal and<br \/>\nappeal under Section 378 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tMs.\n<\/p>\n<p>Shah, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, has taken this Court<br \/>\nthrough the testimony of the Food Inspector and the report of the<br \/>\nPublic Analyst at Exh.30 and Exh.55.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tShe,<br \/>\nhowever, could not controvert the findings recorded by the Court that<br \/>\nthe samples of mineral water pouches in question were containing<br \/>\nspecific stipulation that they were best for use before 3.11.1999.<br \/>\nThe sample was collected on 4.10.1999 and the first report of Public<br \/>\nAnalyst declared the same to be in conformity with the Rules and not<br \/>\nadulterated. The subsequent report by another Public Analyst of<br \/>\nVadodara Municipal Corporation contained information with regard to<br \/>\nexistence of E.coli bacteria and contents of Fluoride more than the<br \/>\npermissible limits and hence it was declared to be adulterated. It<br \/>\nhas come out in the recording of the evidence of the Food Inspector<br \/>\nthat the date of examination of the sample was  1.12.1999 which is<br \/>\nthe date admittedly subsequent to the date prescribed for the best<br \/>\nusage, namely, 3.11.1999. In view of this, when the sample is said to<br \/>\nhave been examined on 1.12.1999 or when there was no date<br \/>\nspecifically prescribed with regard to the examination of the sample<br \/>\nfood article ,then the acquittal cannot be said to be so perverse as<br \/>\nto call for any interference under Section 378 of the Code of<br \/>\nCriminal Procedure.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tThis<br \/>\nCourt has perused the relevant copies of the papers of the trial<br \/>\nCourt as well as the relevant papers produced by the learned<br \/>\nAdditional Public Prosecutor pertaining to this case, which have been<br \/>\nordered to be taken on record. The date of expiry or the date on<br \/>\nwhich the sample would have been said to be the best to be used, is<br \/>\nthe  crucial date i.e 3.11.1999 . The sample was,therefore, required<br \/>\nto be examined on\/or before 3.11.1999. In the instant case, though<br \/>\nthe sample was actually sent on 1.11.1999 to the second Public<br \/>\nAnalyst, he has not specifically mentioned anywhere that the sample<br \/>\nwas examined on or before 3.11.1999.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tIn<br \/>\nview of this, the Court is not inclined to interfere with the order<br \/>\nof acquittal which cannot be said to have resulted into miscarriage<br \/>\nof justice in any manner.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tThis<br \/>\nCourt is of the view that leave to appeal itself is not required to<br \/>\nbe granted. Leave is, therefore, refused to file appeal and as such<br \/>\nthe leave is refused. As the leave to appeal is refused, Appeal<br \/>\nitself is also not required to be entertained and the same is,<br \/>\ntherefore, dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(S.\n<\/p>\n<p>R.
