Pyare Lal vs State Of U.P. Thru Secy. And 2 Others on 19 February, 2020
Nothing has been brought to our attention that the said judgment has been overruled. Even otherwise, we are of the opinion that the said conclusion cannot be faulted for the reason that mere filing of a F.I.R. cannot result in holding a fair price shop owner guilty of the offences charged. If there be a conviction, then it is possible to proceed, based on the conviction and not otherwise. In case if the F.I.R. is lodged, it is still open to the respondents to proceed by leading independent evidence and statements of the persons recorded."
