Alok Kr Ghose & ANR v. Union Of India & ANR

31.10.2022 Item no.45.

Court No.35.

I.T C.R.R 584 of 2016 Alok Kr. Ghose & Anr.

-Vs.- Union of India & Anr.

None appears on behalf of the petitioner, though the matter is pending in the list for several days and has been called on regularly. Hence, without wasting much time the same is taken up for disposal.

This is an application under Section 482 Cr.P.C, 1973, in which the petitioner has prayed for quashing of the proceeding being CR Case No. 666 of 2015 under Section 3, sub-section 1, Clauses (zx) & (zz) (iii) (v) (vii) (viii) of The Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, pending in the court of the Ld. Judicial Magistrate, 3rd Court, at Jalpaiguri.

Opposite party no.2 is the complainant in the trial court who filed a complaint case against petitioners on the facts and grounds that the petitioners have been engaged in contamination and adulteration of packaged drinking water, claimed to have been produced by them.

Challenging the proceedings the petitioners have come up in the revision to submit that the criminal case is devoid of any cogent ground as against them and has been initiated only maliciously. They have prayed for quashing of the proceedings. Record reveals that the nature of the offence as alleged against the petitioners is of sufficient gravity. Moreover, the

petitioners' contentions and grounds are not based upon cogent reasons or the legal principles.

Therefore, I do not find any merit in the present revision case and the revisional application being CRR 584 of 2016 is dismissed.
