It is the case of the complainant-Food<br \/>\n\tInspector that at that point of time the respondent-accused was<br \/>\n\tpresent and was doing business. It is the case of the complainant<br \/>\n\tthat after giving his identity as Food Inspector, the complainant<br \/>\n\tpurchased Mirchi Powder in presence of panch witness as sample and<br \/>\n\talso paid consideration for the same. It is also the case of the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant 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 does not conform to the standard<br \/>\n\tprescribed under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.<br \/>\n\tTherefore, after following the due procedure, complaint was filed<br \/>\n\tagainst the respondent-accused in the Court of learned Chief<br \/>\n\tJudicial Magistrate, Rajkot for the offences punishable under the<br \/>\n\tPrevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter,<br \/>\n\tupon service of summons, the respondent-accused appeared before the<br \/>\n\tCourt and as the accused not pleaded guilty, the trial commenced.<br \/>\n\tThereafter the trial was conducted before the learned Magistrate. To<br \/>\n\tprove the case of the prosecution, prosecution has produced oral as<br \/>\n\twell as documentary evidence. Thereafter, further statement of<br \/>\n\trespondent-accused was recorded under Section 313 of the Code of<br \/>\n\tCriminal Procedure, 1973.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter,<br \/>\n\tafter considering the oral as well as documentary evidence, the<br \/>\n\tlearned Magistrate has acquitted the respondent-original accused<br \/>\n\tfrom the charges alleged against him by his Judgment and Order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal dated 04th August 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said Judgment and Order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal dated 04th<br \/>\n\tAugust 2010 passed by<br \/>\n\tthe learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rajkot, in Criminal Case<br \/>\n\tNo.2078 of 1985, the complainant-Food Inspector through State of<br \/>\n\tGujarat has preferred the above mentioned Criminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>Heard<br \/>\n\tMr.H.L. Jani, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, appearing on<br \/>\n\tbehalf of the appellant-State.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Jani,<br \/>\n\tlearned counsel for the appellant, has contended that the Judgment<br \/>\n\tand Order of acquittal passed by the learned Magistrate is not<br \/>\n\tproper, legal and it is erroneous. He has also argued that the<br \/>\n\tlearned Magistrate has not considered the evidence of the witnesses.<br \/>\n\tHe 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. He, 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 in (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<br \/>\n\tgone through the order of acquittal passed by the learned<br \/>\n\tMagistrate. I have also perused the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence led before the trial Court and also considered the<br \/>\n\tsubmissions made by learned advocates for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\ttrial Court has, after appreciating the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence, observed that when there is difference between the report<br \/>\n\tof Public Analyst and Central Food Laboratory, then<br \/>\n\trespondent-accused cannot be pleaded guilty. Even the prosecution<br \/>\n\thas failed to prove that the rice starch is injurious to health.<br \/>\n\tEven there is a delay in filing the complaint. Thus, prosecution has<br \/>\n\tfailed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the<br \/>\n\trespondent-original accused. The trial Court has observed that there<br \/>\n\tare serious lacuna in the oral as well as documentary evidence of<br \/>\n\tprosecution. Nothing is produced on record of this appeal to rebut<br \/>\n\tthe concrete findings of the trial Court. Prosecution has failed to<br \/>\n\tprove the case beyond reasonable doubt against the<br \/>\n\trespondent-original accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charges against the<br \/>\n\trespondent-original accused in the present appeal. The prosecution<br \/>\n\thas miserably failed to prove the case against the<br \/>\n\trespondent-original accused beyond reasonable doubt. Thus, from the<br \/>\n\tevidence itself it is established that the prosecution has not<br \/>\n\tproved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.Jani,<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<br \/>\n\trespondent-original accused of the charges levelled against him for<br \/>\n\twant of evidence.\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.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe Judgment and Order of acquittal dated 04th<br \/>\n\tAugust 2010 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Rajkot,<br \/>\n\tin Criminal Case No.2078 of 1985 is hereby confirmed. Bail bond, if<br \/>\n\tany, shall stands discharged. Record and Proceedings, if any, be<br \/>\n\tsent back to the trial Court concerned, forthwith.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.\n<\/p>\n<p>K.
