(Oral) Ish Kumar Bhatia, Assistant Food and Supplies Officer, Karnal instituted a complaint that in contravention of provisions of Haryana Food Articles (Licensing and Price Control) Order, 1985 (hereinafter referred to as “the Order, 1985”), respondents could not keep in his possession more than five quintals of ghee. Learned Presiding Court, Special Court constituted under the Essential Commodities Act, Karnal, observed that even if the prosecution's case is accepted, the accused are liable to be discharged as the prosecution has failed to establish that the accused were engaged in the business of purchase, sale or storage of ghee. FIR was lodged in September 1989. About 19 years are going Criminal Revision No. 189 of 1992 2 to lapse. I find no reason to disturb the order of discharge as the prosecution could not gather necessary evidence to establish the guilt of respondents. Finding no merits in the present revision petition, the same is dismissed. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge January 31, 2008 “DK”
