Das Gupta, J., that where three Food Inspectors visit the godown of an accused dealing in ghee the same day and at the same time and each takes samples of ghee from three different lots of tins and the three samples collected are found adulterated, the offence committed under the by the accused is the same, namely, the offence of storing and selling adulterated ghee at the particular hour of the particular day and it cannot be said that three distinct offences under section 7 of the Act have been committed by the accused and consequently when "three separate prose 987 cutions under section 7 of the Act have been launched against the accused and he is convicted in one of the prosecutions, the other two prosecutions are barred under section 403, Criminal Procedure Code".
