Hon'ble Barkat Ali Zaidi, J
1. In these proceedings under Section 482 Cr.P.C., the applicant seeks quashing of the first information report , registered against him under Section 3/7 of the Essential Commodities Act and Rules 3/57 of Mines and Minerals Rules, 1967.
2. I have heard Sri S.M.A. Abidi, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri R.K. Maurya, Addl. Government Advocate for the State.
3. The contention of the applicant is that he is neither the proprietor nor has anything to do with the brick - kiln and one Sri Syed. Ansar Ahmad is the proprietor which runs the brick-kiln . These facts have been mentioned in affidavit accompanying the petiton.
4. The contention of the applicant, therefore, is that his prosecution is, therefore, wholly unwarranted because he has nothing to do with brick-kiln . This contgention will have to be examined by the Trial Court on the basis of order or documentary evidence adduced before him, and, it will be for him to decide as to who is to be prosecuted for commission of the offences , if any?.
5. It is not for this Court in proceedings under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to decide the matter.
6. The applicant will be at liberty to move an application for discharge before the Trial Court.
7. In the circumstances, pending decision by the Trial Judge, the applicant shall be released on personal bonds.
8. It may, however b e mentioned that the prosecution of the person running the brick-kiln under the Essential Commodities Act seems unjustified because the mere use of coal in running the brick-kiln will not violate the provisions of the Essential Commodities Act as has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of U.P. and others Vs. B. Janta Ind. Udyog and others, A.I.R.1991 Supreme Court, 477.
9. With this observation, this application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is disposed of finally.
