Ranchhodbhai Keshavlal Kadia Vs. Damodar Veljibhai Mistry and anr.

Court: Gujarat

Decided on: Sep-11-1985

Reported in: (1986)2GLR867

A.P. Ravani, J.1. Despite innumerable built in checks against the conviction and sentence of offenders of food adulteration and despite meticulously woven safeguards providing for the easy escape on technical grounds, if an offender is convicted for an offence of food adulteration and if he is ordered to undergo sentence of RIGOROUS IMPRISONMENT instead of simple imprisonment, heavens may fall and probably the social equilibrium may be disturbed. This appears to be the underlying approach of the lower courts when they have preferred to impose sentence of simple imprisonment on the accused convicted of an offence of food adulteration. Such soft attitude is not permissible in view of the clear cut legislative mandate and the pronouncements by the Supreme Court.2. The petitioner of Criminal Revision Application No. 670 of 1978 is the original accused of Criminal Case No. 36 of 1977 of Metropolitan Magistrate (6th Court), Ahmedabad. He was charged for the offence under Section 16(1)(a)(i) ...
