Documents citing Andhra Pradesh Grain & Seed Merchants' ... vs Union Of India & Anr on 31 March, 1970

U.H. Shah vs Abdulhabib Abdulmajeed And Ors. on 10 March, 1976

The decision in Andhra Pradesh Grain and Seed Merchants Association v. Union of India (supra) also cannot help the accused because the Supreme Court did not lay down therein that the purpose for which the article was sold was relevant in all cases for finding out whether the provisions of Section 7 of the Act were contravened. There the Supreme Court very clearly laid down that "if what is imported or stored, sold or distributed is not an article of food, evidently Section 16 can have no application." in the present case, we were not convinced that the article in question, that is Coconut Oil, sold by the accused to the complainant, is not an article of food. Therefore, we find that the learned additional sessions judge erred in holding that the accused was wrongly convicted by the learned Judicial Magistrate under Section 10(1)(a)(i) read with Section 7(i) of the Act. In our opinion, the prosecution has succeeded in proving the offence against the accused and, therefore, he should be convicted of the same. We, therefore, set aside his acquittal and convict him for the said offence.
