O R D E R
The petitioner herein seeks orders with respect to S.T No.1511 of 2012 of the Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, Tirur, wherein, prosecution against the main accused stands quashed by this Court. It was a prosecution brought by the Food Inspector under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act against a firm, and individually against the partners. The prosecution against the individual partners stands quashed now, but the prosecution sill continues against the firm. The petitioner herein is only the landlady of the premises occupied by the firm. Her apprehension is that in view of the continuing prosecution against the firm, her property will be proceeded against. In view of such an apprehension as a third party, she seeks orders from this Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. It is not known what orders she can seek under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in such a proceeding. It is also not known how she is aggrieved, and why she should
Crl.M.C No.1411 of 2015 apprehend such consequences. She has only let out her premises to the firm for some business purposes. The said property is not the asset of the firm. The petitioner has nothing to worry regarding her property so long as it is not the asset of the firm, and it belongs to her exclusively. I do not think that any authority will proceed against the petitioner's property. In such a circumstance, this petition need not be entertained. With the above observations, this Crl.M.C can be closed. Accordingly, this Crl.M.C is closed, without being admitted to files.
