On 11.6.1994 at<br \/>\nabout 7.30 a.m., when he was standing near the Municipal Office to take samples<br \/>\nof food under the Food Adulteration Act, the first accused came in a<br \/>\nT.V.S.Mophed carrying beverages.   P.W.1 questioned him, in the presence of one<br \/>\nwitness Sarbhudheen.  The first accused replied that he was coming from &#8216;Enjoy<br \/>\nSoda Factory&#8217; and he brought the beverages for sale; on further enquiry, the<br \/>\nfirst accused also submitted that one Tmt.Saroja was the owner of that Soda<br \/>\nFactory.   P.W.1 examined the beverages and took out one &#8216;orange colour&#8217;<br \/>\nbeverage under the Food Adulteration Act for sending the same for Public<br \/>\nAnalyst.  P.W.1  also filled Form 6 in the presence of the witness and served it<br \/>\non the first accused.  Ex.A1 is Form-6.    Then he purchased nine orange colour<br \/>\nbeverage bottles at a cost of Rs.22.50\/- each and obtained a receipt for the<br \/>\nsame.  He packed the food samples in three parcels and allotted Code No.611<br \/>\nseries No.116 and pasted separate lables;   he also sealed with arrack on four<br \/>\ncorners of the lable and tide the same in a thick brown sheet and folded the<br \/>\nedges and pasted the same; he brought the sealed parcels to his Office and<br \/>\nprepared six copies of Form-7.  Ex.P3 is Form-7.  He affixed seal on each copy<br \/>\nand placed each one of the<\/p>\n<p>sample with Form 7 and sealed it with code Number, Serial Number and intimated<br \/>\nthe Local Health Officer under Ex.P4 to  despatch the sample food parcels<br \/>\nthrough Railway Parcel Service and handed over two samples to the Local Health<br \/>\nOfficer and obtained Acknowledgment-Ex.A5;  He forwarded another copy of the<br \/>\nRailway Receipt to the Public Analyst, Ex.A6 is the receipt.  He received the<br \/>\nAcknowledgment under Ex.P7.  Then he sent a notice to the second accused through<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Certificate of Posting&#8217;.  Ex.P8 is the copy of  the notice sent under<br \/>\n&#8216;Certificate of Posting&#8217;.  He received the Public Analyst Report-Ex.P9 and found<br \/>\nthat sample food was adulterated.  Then he filed the charge sheet under Ex.P10;<br \/>\nsent notice- Ex.P10 under Section 13(2)  of the Food Adulteration Act to the<br \/>\naccused.   Exs.P12  &amp; 13 are the acknowledgment cards of the accused for receipt<br \/>\nof the above said notice.  The second accused has not preferred any petition<br \/>\nbefore the Court for sending the sample to the Lab.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3.The prosecution in order to bring home the charges against the accused,<br \/>\nexamined P.W.1 and  filed Ex.P1 to P19.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4.On consideration of the entire evidence on record, the learned Judicial<br \/>\nMagistrate II, Kulithalai,  acquitted the accused.  As against the acquittal<br \/>\norder, the State has preferred the  above appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5.Point for Determination :\n<\/p>\n<p>\t&#8220;Whether the prosecution has proved the case  against   \t  the<br \/>\naccused?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6.P.W.1 is the Food Inspector, Kulithalai Municipality.   On 11.6.1994,<br \/>\nwhen he was standing near the Municipal Office for taking food samples under the<br \/>\nFood Adulteration Act, he saw the first accused coming in a T.V.S.Mophed<br \/>\ncarrying beverages.   P.W.1 questioned him, in the presence of one witness<br \/>\nSarbhudheen.  The first accused explained him that he was coming from &#8216;Enjoy<br \/>\nSoda Factory&#8217; and he brought the beverages for sale. P.W.1 took  samples from<br \/>\nthe first accused and obtained receipt under Ex.A2 and he despatched the food<br \/>\nsamples to the Food Analyst and received the report.  According to him,<br \/>\neverything was done in accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t7.The learned trial Judge observed that the Food samples i.e. three<br \/>\nbottles of beverage out of nine bottles sent for chemical analyst is not<br \/>\nsufficient to fix the liability and held that the Food Inspector has not<br \/>\nfollowed the procedures contemplated under the Food Adulteration Act.   Further,<br \/>\nthe trial Court also concluded that even though the appellant has produced<br \/>\nvarious G.Os that he is entitled to take samples, he has not obtained any<br \/>\nsanction from the competent authority by following the procedures under the<br \/>\nabove said Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8.At this juncture, it is just and proper to analyse the decision rendered<br \/>\nby the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in CONSUMER ACTION GROUP Vs. CADBURY INDIA LTD.,<br \/>\nAND ANOTHER reported in (2000) 9 SCC 56.  In that case, it was observed that<br \/>\neventhough the sanction order of Director, Health Service filed along with the<br \/>\ncomplaint showing that the sanction was granted only to prosecute A1, it is seen<br \/>\nthat no sanction was granted for prosecution of A2 and A3.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t9.On a perusal of Ex.P11-Notice of the case onhand would show that the<br \/>\nLocal Health Authority has not perused the relevant<br \/>\nP.MURGESEN J,<br \/>\nrpa<\/p>\n<p>materials and has also not applied his mind.  So, it is clear that the sanction<br \/>\naccorded was not proper.    Hence, the trial Court has come to the conclusion<br \/>\nthat there is no valid sanction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t9.Therefore, I find no reason to interfere with the order passed by the<br \/>\nlearned trial Judge.  Accordingly, the above Criminal Appeal is dismissed,<br \/>\nconfirming the order of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2,Kulithalai in<br \/>\nC.C.No.1017\/94 dated 24.6.1996.\n<\/p>\n<p>To<\/p>\n<p>1.The Judicial Magistrate No.2,Kulithalai.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.The Food Inspector, Kulithalai Municipality,<\/p>\n<p>3.The Additional Public Prosecutor,<br \/>\n   Madurai Bench of Madras High  Court, Madurai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Madras High Court State By Food Inspector vs Mani on 12 March, 2007 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 12\/03\/2007 CORAM THE HONOURABLE MR.
