[Signed Non-Reportable judgment is placed on the file] IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPEAL No.1235 OF 1999 STATE OF HARYANA Appellant (s)
VERSUS SATISH KUMAR Respondent(s)
WITH CRL.APPEAL NO.1236/1999 B.P. SINGH,J.
We have heard counsel for the appellant State and also perused the order of the High Court.
In a case under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as ’the Act’) the High Court after considering the evidence on record found that the prosecution has not been able to make out a case under Section 16(1)(a)(ii) read with Sectio n 7 of the Act. It accordingly allowed the appeal and acquitted the respondent.
We have gone through the material on record and heard counsel for the appellant. We find no reason to interfere with the order of acquittal.
These appeals are, therefore, dismissed.
