GANGARAM FANGARIA Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS criminal revision, under Sections 397 and 401, Cr PC, is directed against the order dated 16.1.2003 passed in Giridih (Town) P.S. Case No. 70/2001, G.R. No. 4/2001 rejecting the prayer of the petitioner for his discharge from an offence under Section .7 of the Essential Commodities Act.

(2.) THE fact of the case lie in a narrow compass.

(3.) THE petitioner filed a petition under Section 258, Cr PC for his discharge on the ground that provision of Unification Order relating to edible oil including Vanaspati is not workable as the erstwhile State has not classified the cities as B, class city and C class city and, therefore, this provision is not applicable. After hearing the parties, the learned SDJM, by his order dated 16.1.2003, rejected the prayer of the petitioner for his discharge.
