Heard Ms.P.Saraswathi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms.K.Priyanka Lakshmi, learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner has nothing to do with the present crime. This crime has been lodged only for sadistic purposes. The report would show that the petitioner has maintained all the norms and standards, and apart from that, the petitioner possessed valid licenses in all aspects. The present case has been lodged solely to trouble the petitioner. In support of her contentions, learned counsel placed on record the licenses obtained by the petitioner from the fire, medical, and home 3. departments. 4. Learned Assistant Public Prosecutor would submit that, at the time of inspection, the authorities observed that the petitioner had failed to maintain the norms and conditions, which is why this case has been lodged. 5. Considering the submissions made and a fair look at the contents of the complaint, it is not a case where the petitioner has violated any norms or standards. It appears that, in anticipation of future events, this case has been 3 lodged despite the fact that the petitioner possessed a valid license from 01.04.2017 to 31.03.2022. He has also applied for the renewal of the license. The petitioner also possessed clearances from the fire, medical, and home departments. Upon perusal of the material on record, nothing would suggest that he has violated any norms or standards. The only issue mentioned in the case is that the persons working in the factory failed to wear shoes. In that view, no case is made out for the alleged offences under Sections 336, 286 IPC, and 9(B)(1)(b) of the Explosives Act, 1884. In the result, this Criminal Petition is allowed. 6. As a sequel thereto, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. SDI- B CHITTI JOSEPH ASSISTANT REGISTRAR fr ^ \ //TRUE COPY// i SECTION OFFICER 1.
