No. 2104 of 1982 acquitting the respondent of the  charge under section 7(1) read with  section 16 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. We have gone through the judgment of the trial Magistrate and heard the Counsel for the parties.  In this case there is a clear breach of the provision of section 13(2) of the Food Adulteration Act in as much as the Local Health Authority did not send a copy of the report of the Public Analyst to the accused so as to enable him to exercise his right under section 13(2) of the said Act.  In view of the breach of the said mandatory provisions of law the learned trial Magistrate was well justified in acquitting the accused.  There is, therefore, no substance in the  appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. In the result this appeal fails and the same is dismissed.  The bail bonds stand cancelled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bombay High Court State Of Maharashtra vs Hanmantsa Ganpatsa Katwa on 12 July, 1988 Equivalent citations: 1988 (3) BomCR 687 Author: A Tated Bench: S Pratap, A Tated JUDGMENT A.D.
