Sarjoo Prasad Vs. the State of Uttar Pradesh

Court: Allahabad

Decided on: May-09-1973

Reported in: 1973CriLJ1411

ORDERK.B. Strivastava, J.1. The petitioner Sarju Prasad was convicted under Section 16, Prevention of Food Adulteration Act for contravention of Section 7 of that Act, for sale of adulterated milk and was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 1000/-. His appeal against that conviction was dismissed; and it is in these circumstances, that he has come up in revision to this Court.2. The only point argued by the learned Counsel for the petitioner is that it is mandatory under the law to give sufficient details in the charge with regard to the manner in which an article of food is deficient or adulterated and if those particulars are omitted from the charge, the trial becomes invalid and conviction cannot follow on the basis oi such an invalid charge. In support of this contention of his, he has placed reliance upon two decisions of this Court. These are Ramesh Chandra v. State. (1970 All Cri Rule 144) and Girwar v. State, (1971 All Crl.. Rule 219). In ...
