Gori Shanker vs State Of Rajasthan on 13 August, 1974
Ex P/5 contains an endorsement of the comparison of the seal. The Food Inspector was not cross-examined whether the sample of the seal was sent or not, nor were any grounds raised before the first appellate court. Leraned Counsel cited Hetai Chandra and Surendra Nath Dey v. Corporation of Calcutta , State of Gujarat v. Shantaben and Belgaum Borough Municipality v. Shridhar Shankar Kundri and Anr. AIR 1968 Mys 196. The plain object of the rule is to prevent the possibility of tempering of the sample in the process of its transmission. The minute I find that the Public Analyst says that he had compared the seal and this cot having been disputed in the courts below I find no substance in this contention.
