It is alleged that the complainant, along with other<br \/>\n\tofficer, has visited the respondent   company where he found that<br \/>\n\tthe accused have not kept the Salary Register and Presence Register<br \/>\n\tin accordance with law and has also not provided the presence card<br \/>\n\tto the workers of the company and thereby the accused have committed<br \/>\n\tthe breach of Rule 26(5), 26(1) and 26(B) of the Minimum Wages<br \/>\n\tRules, 1961. The complainant has also recorded the statements of<br \/>\n\tsome of the workers. It is alleged that, as per the record,  on<br \/>\n\t1.1.1982 Mr. M.R. Pathan has visited the factory of the accused and<br \/>\n\tissued certain instructions. Thereafter, the complaint has been<br \/>\n\tfiled against the accused for initiating the proceeding under<br \/>\n\tSection 22(c) of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter<br \/>\n\tthe trial was conducted before the learned Magistrate. The<br \/>\n\tprosecution has examined the witnesses and also relied upon the<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence. After considering the oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence the learned Magistrate has acquitted the<br \/>\n\trespondents   accused from the charges alleged against them, vide<br \/>\n\tJudgment and order dated 29.04.2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said Judgment and order dated<br \/>\n\t29.04.2009 passed by the learned Magistrate, in Criminal Case No.<br \/>\n\t1452 of 1983, the appellant   State of Gujarat, has preferred the<br \/>\n\tabove mentioned Criminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave heard learned A.P.P., appearing on behalf of the appellant<br \/>\n\tState.  I  have also gone through the papers and the Judgment and<br \/>\n\torder passed by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tAPP  for the appellant has taken me through the evidence of<br \/>\n\tprosecution witnesses and the documentary evidence and submitted<br \/>\n\tthat from the above evidence it is established that the prosecution<br \/>\n\thas successfully proved its case beyond reasonable doubt. He has<br \/>\n\tcontended that the complainant was authorized officer to visit the<br \/>\n\tplace and, therefore, there is no question to disbelieve the case of<br \/>\n\tprosecution by holding that investigation was not done lawfully. He<br \/>\n\thas also contended that as per prescribed rules every institution<br \/>\n\trequires to maintain register in a prescribed form. He has also<br \/>\n\tcontended that the rights and privileges of the workers working in<br \/>\n\tcertain sections ought to have been maintained under the Rules and<br \/>\n\tRegulations. He, therefore, contended that the Judgment and order<br \/>\n\tpassed by the learned Magistrate is without appreciating the facts<br \/>\n\tand evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave gone through the Judgment of the trial Court. I have also<br \/>\n\tperused the reasons assigned by the learned Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>At<br \/>\n\tthe outset it is required to be noted that the principles which<br \/>\n\twould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court<br \/>\n\tagainst an order of acquittal passed by the trial Court have been<br \/>\n\tvery succinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of<br \/>\n\tdecisions. In the case of<br \/>\n\tM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala &amp; Anr, reported<br \/>\n\tin (2006)6 SCC, 39,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in<br \/>\n\tappeal against the order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 54.<br \/>\n\t In any event the High Court entertained an appeal treating to be an<br \/>\n\tappeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising the revisional<br \/>\n\tjurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power against a<br \/>\n\tjudgement of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in mind the<br \/>\n\twell-settled principles of law that where two view are possible, the<br \/>\n\tappellate court should not interfere with the finding of acquittal<br \/>\n\trecorded by the court below.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tit is a settled principle that while exercising appellate power,<br \/>\n\teven if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the<br \/>\n\tevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the<br \/>\n\tfinding  of acquittal recorded by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Even<br \/>\n\tin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of <a href=\"\/doc\/585040\/\">State<br \/>\n\tof Goa V. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported<\/a> in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\n\tthe  Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such<br \/>\n\tcases.\n<\/p>\n<p>Similar<br \/>\n\tprinciple has been laid down by the Apex  Court in the cases of<br \/>\n\tState of<br \/>\n\tUttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh &amp; Ors, reported in 2007 AIR SCW<br \/>\n\t5553 and<br \/>\n\tin 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<br \/>\n\tby the Court below are found to be just and proper. Such principle<br \/>\n\tis laid down by the Apex Court 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 the judgment and order passed by the trial court.<br \/>\n\tI have also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led<br \/>\n\tbefore the trial court and also considered<br \/>\n\tthe submissions made by learned Advocate for the appellant. From the<br \/>\n\tevidence of complainant (Exh.15) it appears that he has never made<br \/>\n\tany signature in the visit book. The trial Court has also found that<br \/>\n\tthe conduct of the complainant was doubtful.\n<\/p>\n<p>The<br \/>\n\ttrial court has, after appreciating the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence, has found that investigation was not properly done as<br \/>\n\tprovided under Section 19 of the Act. The trial Court has also<br \/>\n\tobserved that the complainant has not seized the record of the case.<br \/>\n\t The learned Magistrate has also found that the story put-forward by<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution is not believable. The trial Court has also found<br \/>\n\tthat there are serious lacunae in the oral as well as documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence of prosecution. Nothing is produced on record of this<br \/>\n\tappeal to rebut the concrete findings of the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charge against<br \/>\n\tthe respondents   accused in the present Appeal. The prosecution<br \/>\n\thas miserably failed to prove the case against the appellant<br \/>\n\taccused.  Thus, from the evidence itself it is established that the<br \/>\n\tprosecution has not proved<br \/>\n\tits case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tAPP is not in a position to show any evidence to take a contrary<br \/>\n\tview in the matter or that the approach of the trial court is<br \/>\n\tvitiated by some manifest illegality or that the decision is<br \/>\n\tperverse or that the trial court has ignored the material evidence<br \/>\n\ton 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 respondents<br \/>\n\tof the charges leveled against them. I find that the findings<br \/>\n\trecorded by the trial court are absolutely just and proper and in<br \/>\n\trecording the said findings, no illegality or infirmity has been<br \/>\n\tcommitted 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\tcourt below and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.<br \/>\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of above the Appeal is dismissed. The judgment and order dated<br \/>\n\t29.04.2009 passed by the learned Magistrate, in  Criminal Case No.<br \/>\n\t1452 of 1983 acquitting the respondents &#8211; accused from the charges<br \/>\n\talleged against them is hereby confirmed. Bail bonds, if any, shall<br \/>\n\tstand cancelled.\tR &amp; P may be sent back to the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.K.SAIYED,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>sas<\/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 Arvindbhai on 3 February, 2010 Author: Z.K.Saiyed,&amp;Nbsp;
