HEMANT KUMAR Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) BY this criminal misc. petition under section 482 Cr. P. C. , petitioners who were facing trial for offence under Section 7/16, Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 (hereinafter referred to as `the Act') seek quashing of the order dt. 8. 9. 1993 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Parbatsar (hereinafter referred to as `the trial Court'), whereby the trial court took cognizance for the offence under Section 7/16 of the Act against the petitioners who are partners of firm M/s. Merta Oil Company, Merta City.

(2.) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and carefully gone through the order impugned.

(3.) IT is settled law that the inherent powers of the Court under section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code should be exercised very sparingly and cautiously only when the Court comes to the conclusion that in case the order is not interfered with, it would result in manifest injustice or would result in abuse of process of court.
