Since, this report was conclusive, it superseded the report of the Government Analyst and thus, it was admissible without examination of the report&#8217;s author. The Court opined that continuation of the proceedings before the Trial Court would amount to an abuse of the Court&#8217;s process and would be an exercise in futility and accordingly, quashed the proceedings initiated against the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Background<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In an instant case, it was asserted that on 15-03-2021, the Drug Inspector, drew sample of drug Azilsartan Medoxomil tablet, which was manufactured by Hetro Labs Limited (&#8216;petitioner&#8217;). Subsequently, the drug was sent to a Government Analyst, Regional Drugs Testing Laboratory, and Chandigarh for testing and analysis, which issued a result stating that the sample did not conform to the claim as per the patent and proprietary with respect to the dissolution. Further, in compliance with Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001541955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002852199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a>, one copy of the report was delivered to the petitioner. Thus, a complaint was filed against the petitioners before the Trial Court. However, the petitioners got their sample analysed at their own end and found that it complied with the requirement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioners filed an application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001541955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25(4)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002852199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a> for sending the sample to the Central Laboratory, Kolkata for its analysis. The Central Drugs Laboratory, Kolkata issued a report stating the drugs conformed to the manufacturer&#8217;s specification with respect to the test for dissolution. The report of the Government Analyst was superseded by the report issued by the Central Drugs Laboratory, Kolkata, therefore the petitioner filed the present petition to quash the proceedings initiated against them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court relied on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Supriya Jain<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of Haryana<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/Members\/NoteView.aspx?enc=KDIwMjMpIDcgU0NDIDcxMSYmJiYmNDAmJiYmJlNlYXJjaFBhZ2U=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(2023) 7 SCC 711<\/a>; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gulam Mustafa<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of Karnataka<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/Members\/NoteView.aspx?enc=SlRYVC05MDAxNDc4NDE0JiYmJiY0MCYmJiYmU2VhcmNoJiYmJiZmdWxsc2NyZWVuJiYmJiZ0cnVlJiYmJiYyMDIzIFNDQyBPbkxpbmUgU0MgNjAzJiYmJiZQaHJhc2UmJiYmJmdTZWFyY2gmJiYmJmZhbHNl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 SCC OnLine SC 603<\/a>; <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">CBI<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Aryan Singh<\/span>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/Members\/NoteView.aspx?enc=SlRYVC05MDAxNDUxMTYxJiYmJiY0MCYmJiYmU2VhcmNoJiYmJiZmdWxsc2NyZWVuJiYmJiZ0cnVlJiYmJiYyMDIzIFNDQyBPbkxpbmUgU0MgMzc5JiYmJiZQaHJhc2UmJiYmJmdTZWFyY2gmJiYmJmZhbHNl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 SCC OnLine SC 379<\/a> and <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Abhishek<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">State of M.P.<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/Members\/NoteView.aspx?enc=MjAyMyBTQ0MgT25MaW5lIFNDIDEwODMmJiYmJjQwJiYmJiZTZWFyY2hQYWdl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2023 SCC OnLine SC 1083<\/a>, and opined that power under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001519791\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">482<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CrPC<\/a> could be exercised to prevent the abuse of process or secure the ends of justice.

However, it was not permissible to conduct mini-trial to arrive at such findings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that as per Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001541955\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">25(4)<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002852199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a>, the Director of Central Drugs Laboratory should cause the sample to be tested and such report should be conclusive evidence of the facts.
