IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.41408 of 2010 BADRI PRASAD GUPTA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 26.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State in respect of petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail in a case under Prevention of Food Adulteration Act. It has been submitted that petitioner runs a sweetmeat shop since several years and he prepares Laddo with Besan from the market and no impermissible material was found in his premises but the Laddo revealed that it contained metanil yellow, a non- permitted synthetic colouring material. The plea is that Besan from the market might have contained the non- permitted colour without knowledge of the petitioner. In the facts of the case, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders within six weeks, in that event he shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of SDJM, Purnea in connection with case no.BIII-14/2010, on the date of surrender itself. sk (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
