Amendment In Criminal Laws Beneficial To Accused Can Be Applied In Pending/Earlier Cases
07 Dec 2019 04:26 pm
The Supreme Court has reiterated that if the amendment in a criminal law is beneficial to the accused persons, it could be applied with respect to earlier cases as well which are pending in the Court.
In this case, Trilok Chand was convicted under Section 16(1)(a)(i) read with Section 7 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954. He was sentenced to three months' imprisonment along with fine of Rs.500.His revision petition was dismissed by the High Court.
The only submission in the appeal before the Apex Court was that, under Sections 51 and 52 of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, the maximum penalty for sub-standard food or branding is only fine. Reliance was placed on an order of the Supreme Court in Nemi Chand vs. State of Rajasthan. In this case, the offence was registered under the 1954 Act and conviction was also under the same Act. While the appeal was pending in High Court, 2006 Act came into force repealing the old Act.
