On these facts, the<br \/>\ncomplaint was filed before the Court, which was numbered as Criminal<br \/>\nCase No. 1915\/1992, against the respondent. At the time of trial,<br \/>\nevidence was led before the trial Court. The documents were produced<br \/>\nand oral evidence of the witnesses were also recorded by the trial<br \/>\nCourt and after considering the oral as well as documentary evidence,<br \/>\nthe learned Magistrate has passed the order of acquittal which is<br \/>\nimpugned in this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.0<br \/>\nIt was contended by learned Advocate for the appellant that  the<br \/>\njudgment and order of the learned Magistrate is not proper, legal and<br \/>\nit is erroneous. He has also argued that the learned Magistrate has<br \/>\nnot considered the evidence of the witnesses. He has contended that<br \/>\nthe Food Inspector has followed the rules as prescribed by law and he<br \/>\nhas also followed the procedure of taking the sample and the contents<br \/>\nof Form No. 6 etc are just and proper. The sample was seized and<br \/>\nsealed properly. Yet, the learned Magistrate has not considered the<br \/>\nevidence of prosecution. Therefore, the order impugned in this appeal<br \/>\npassed by the learned Magistrate requires to be quashed and set<br \/>\naside.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.<br \/>\n\tIt is a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the<br \/>\nAppellate Court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give<br \/>\nfresh reasonings when the Appellate Court is in agreement with the<br \/>\nreasons assigned by the trial court acquitting the accused.  In the<br \/>\ninstant case, this Court is in full agreement with the reasons given<br \/>\nand findings recorded by the trial Court while acquitting the<br \/>\nrespondents- accused and adopting the said reasons and for the<br \/>\nreasons aforesaid, in my view, the impugned judgment is just, legal<br \/>\nand proper and requires no interference by this Court at this stage.<br \/>\nHence, this appeal requires to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.<br \/>\nEven in a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State<br \/>\nof Goa V. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\nthe Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases.<br \/>\nIn para 16 of the said decision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 16.<br \/>\nFrom the aforesaid decisions, it is apparent that while exercising<br \/>\nthe powers in appeal against the order of acquittal the Court of<br \/>\nappeal would not ordinarily interfere with the order of acquittal<br \/>\nunless the approach of the lower Court is vitiated by some manifest<br \/>\nillegality and the conclusion arrived at would not be arrived at by<br \/>\nany<br \/>\nreasonable person and, therefore, the decision is to be characterized<br \/>\nas perverse. Merely because two views are possible, the Court of<br \/>\nappeal would not take the view which would upset the judgment<br \/>\ndelivered by the Court below. However, the appellate court has a<br \/>\npower to review the evidence if it is of the view that the conclusion<br \/>\narrived at by the Court below is perverse and the Court has committed<br \/>\na manifest error of law and ignored the material evidence on record.<br \/>\nA duty is cast upon the appellate court, in such circumstances, to<br \/>\nre-appreciate the evidence to arrive to a just decision on the basis<br \/>\nof material placed on record to find out whether any of the accused<br \/>\nis connected with the commission of the crime he is charged with.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.<br \/>\nSimilar principle has been laid down by the Apex Court in the cases<br \/>\nof State<br \/>\nof Uttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh &amp; Ors, reported in 2007 AIR<br \/>\nSCW 5553 and<br \/>\nin Girja<br \/>\nPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. state of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.<br \/>\nThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of<br \/>\nacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.<br \/>\nIt is also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the<br \/>\nappellate court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give<br \/>\nfresh reasonings, when the reasons assigned by the Court below are<br \/>\nfound to be just and proper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex<br \/>\nCourt in the case of State<br \/>\nof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417,<br \/>\nwherein,<br \/>\nit is held as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> &amp;<br \/>\nThis court<br \/>\nhas observed in Girija<br \/>\nNandini Devi V. Bigendra Nandini Chaudhary (1967)1 SCR 93: (AIR 1967<br \/>\nSC 1124) that<br \/>\nit is not the duty of the appellate court when it agrees with the<br \/>\nview of the trial court on the evidence to repeat the narration of<br \/>\nthe evidence or to<br \/>\nreiterate the reasons given by the trial court expression of general<br \/>\nagreement with the reasons given by the Court the decision of which<br \/>\nis under appeal, will ordinarily suffice.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tThus,<br \/>\nin case the appellate court agrees with the reasons and the opinion<br \/>\ngiven by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is not<br \/>\nnecessary.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tI<br \/>\nhave gone through the judgment and order passed by the trial court. I<br \/>\nhave also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led by the<br \/>\ntrial court and also considered the submissions made by learned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the appellant. The trial court while considering the<br \/>\noral as well as documentary evidence has clearly observed that the<br \/>\nprosecution has not followed the mandatory provisions of the Rules<br \/>\nduring the sealing and seizing the sample. The prosecution has failed<br \/>\nto prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Today, learned counsel for<br \/>\nthe appellant is unable to convince this court that  Sweet Mava<br \/>\n(Khoya)  which was seized as a sample  was seized not with some<br \/>\nother articles but with the help of the fingers and it is not<br \/>\npermissible.   Even in the present appeal, nothing is produced or<br \/>\npointed out to rebut the conclusion of the trial Court.  Thus, from<br \/>\nthe evidence itself it is established that the prosecution has not<br \/>\nproved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tLearned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the appellant is not in a position to show any evidence<br \/>\nto take a contrary view of the matter or that the approach of the<br \/>\ntrial court is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that the<br \/>\ndecision is perverse or that the trial court has ignored the material<br \/>\nevidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.<br \/>\nIn the above view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that<br \/>\nthe trial court was completely justified in acquitting the respondent<br \/>\nof the charges leveled against him.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.<br \/>\nI find that the findings recorded by the trial court are absolutely<br \/>\njust and proper and in recording the said findings, no illegality or<br \/>\ninfirmity has been committed by it.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.\tI<br \/>\nam, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate<br \/>\nconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the court<br \/>\nbelow and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same. Hence the<br \/>\nappeal is hereby dismissed. R &amp; P to be sent back to the trial<br \/>\nCourt, forthwith. Bail bond, if any, stands cancelled.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>SAIYED, J.)<\/p>\n<p>pawan<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Manharlal vs The Present Appeal on 17 February, 2010 Author: Z.K.Saiyed,&amp;Nbsp;
