Food adulteration case -- Nominated person held guilty – Remand to fill lacuna of case – In the absence of the Company, the Nominated Person cannot be convicted or vice versa -- Order of remand to the trial court to fill up the lacuna is not a fair option exercised by the High Court as the failure of the trial court to convict the Company renders the entire conviction of the Nominated Person as unsustainable.
