Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-11-1948

Reported in: 1949CriLJ91

ORDERSeth, J.1. These 19 applications in revision have arisen out of 19 different oases started against several applicants in these revisions, for alleged offences under the U. P. Gur Control Order, 1945, and the U. P. Oilseeds and Oilseeds1 Produot3 Control Order, 1945. In some of the oases the offence was alleged to have been constituted by a non-compliance with certain requirements mentioned in the licenses granted to the accused in those cases. In other cases the offence was alleged to have been constituted by a breach of some of the provisions of the Control Orders.2. At the outset of the trial in each one of these cases two preliminary objections were taken on behalf of the accused persons. One of the two preliminary objections is common to all the 19 cases. The other preliminary objection arose only in those cases where the alleged offence was in respect of non-compliance with the requirements mentioned in the licenses granted under the Control Orders.

Tilak Raj and ors. Vs. Rex

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-11-1948

Reported in: 1949CriLJ94

ORDERWanchoo, J.1. This is an application under Section 491, Criminal P. C., by 37 persons who have been ordered to be detained by the District Magistrate of Muzaffarnagar under U. P. Act (IV [4] of 1947). Ten of them namely Sheetal Prasad, Maheah Dutt, Bali Earn, Uttam Singh, Daya Bam, Birbal Singh, Amir Singh, Bhanwar Singh, 0m Prakash and Eama however have been released. Their application has, therefore, become infructuous and is hereby dismissed. I proposed to deal with the application of the remaining 27.2. The case of one of these 27, however, namely Ramgopal is slightly different from the case of the remaining 26. I shall first consider the general argument which has been advanced on behalf of 26 of the applicants and then deal separately with the case of Ramgopal.3. These 26 applicants were originally ordered to be detained on 6th February 1948 or within a few days thereafter for a period of three months. They were taken to the jail at Muzaffarnagar, A few days later they were ...

Deo Mitra Vs. Rex

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-11-1948

Reported in: 1949CriLJ105

ORDERSeth, J.1. In this case the Sessions Judge of Saharanpur has recommended that the conviction and sentence passed upon the applicant Deo Mitra under Section 4 (l), U. P, Prevention of Adulteration Act be set aside.2. Deo Mitra was convicted because ha was found selling a bottle of vinegar, which, on examination by the Public Analyst, wag found to be deficient in acetic acid by about 37 percent. It is by no means clear to me what this deficiency means because in a book cited by the Crown counsel before the learned Sessions Judge it was found stated 'Vinegar baa essentially dilute acetio acid generally 4 to 5 per cent, along with a little acetio ether.' How if according to this authority vinegar has only 4 to 3 per cent, of acetio acid, it is difficult to understand how the acetic acid was deficient by about 37 pet cent, in the sample, unless it be that what is meant by the report of the Public Analyst, is that the deficiency was 37 per cent, of 4 to 5 percent. Such a deficiency woul...

Tillu Ahir and ors. Vs. Rex

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: Jun-03-1948

Reported in: 1949CriLJ114

ORDERSeth, J.1. Each one of the applicants in this case was convicted by the trying Magistrate under Section 325, Penal Code. They were charged with having assaulted one Sarju with lathis and to have inflicted upon his person & number of injuries one of which was grievous. When the matter came up in appeal before the Sessions Judge of Ghazipur, it was argued before him that in the absence of any definite proof on the record that the grievous injury had been caused by any one of the three assailants, none of them could be convicted under Section 325, Penal Code. The learned Sessions Judge realised the force of this argument and altered the conviction from one under Section 325, Penal Code, standing by itself to one under Section 325 Penal Code, read with Section 34 of the same Code.2. The first point that has been urged in this application before me is that the applicants are not guilty of any offence, inasmuch as, they were acting in the exercise of the right of private defence. The fa...
