OPPOSITE PARTIES ----------- 2. 10.12.2010 The petitioner seeks quashing of the order dated 16.8.2000 passed by the S.D.J.M., Buxar in Case No.7(O) of 2000 T.R. No.139 of 2010, by which he has taken cognizance u/s.16(2)(a) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. The prosecution case is that a piece of paneer was seized from the hotel, where the petitioner was an employee and when the same was sent for chemical examination it was found to be adulterated since there was variation in the fat content. Under similar circumstances this court had allowed the case of co-accused Shiv Janam Singh vide Cr.Misc.No.20567 of 2006 by an order dated 18.5.2007, since the analyst report had not been given to the petitioner in violation of the provisions of Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. Considering that the petitioner’s case is similar, this application is allowed and the order dated 16.8.2000 passed by the S.D.J.M., Buxar in Case No.7 (O) of 2000 T.R. No.139 of 2010 is quashed.
