(ORAL) The petitioner has been convicted for commission of an offence under Section 16(1)(a)(i) read with Section 7 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and pay fine of Rs. 1,000/- In default of payment of fine to further undergo imprisonment for three months. The petitioner carried an appeal which has been dismissed. The Appellate Court from the record has noticed that as per the report of the analyst, the sample of atta drawn did not prescribe to the standard laid down under the Prevention of Food Adulteration Rules, 1955. In the sample, Ash insoluble in dil Hcl exceeded the maximum specified limit of 0.15 per cent as it was found to be 0.37 per cent. Also the atta was having grit to the extent of 0.28 per cent and taste of the same was also gritty. Crl. Rev.

Learned counsel has further not been able to show any procedural irregularity that goes to the root of the case. The evidence cannot be re-appreciated so as to come to a different conclusion. I find no ground to interfere with the findings recorded particularly in view of the nature of offence, the same being under Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954.
