High Court rejects 3 pharma directors plea in drug case

Srinagar, Aug 15:The High Court of J&K and Ladakh has rejected a plea by three directors of a pharmaceutical company whereby they had sought to quash criminal proceedings against them related to a drug declared Not of Standard Quality by the Government Analyst. In response to the plea which it dismissed finally, a bench of Justice Wasim Sadiq Nargal noted that the directors of Corona Remedies Pvt Ltd could not seek quashing of the proceedings at the threshold merely by claiming that they were not personally involved in the manufacture of the drug. The bench observed that whether the directors were in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the companys business under Section 34 of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940, was a question of fact to be determined by the trial court on the basis of evidence. The case related to Locipil Tablets, Batch No. CHI15020, manufactured by Corona Remedies in September 2015. A sample collected from ESIC Model Hospital, Bari Brahmana, Jammu, was tested at the Regional Drugs Testing Laboratory, Chandigarh, which declared it Not of Standard Quality. The petitioners, Ankur Kirtikumar Mehta, Dr. Kirtikumar Laxmidas Mehta and Nirav Kirti Kumar Mehta, were arrayed as accused in the complaint filed by the Drugs Inspector before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jammu. They had challenged the Magistrates July 26, 2018 order taking cognizance under Sections 18(a)(i) and 27(d) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. The Court noted that the complaint specifically alleged that the directors were responsible for conducting the companys day-to-day business at the relevant time. It held that their actual responsibility and possible vicarious liability could only be determined after appreciation of evidence during trial. It also took note of the companys response to the statutory notice, in which it informed the authorities that it had stopped sale of the concerned batch and sought a lenient view. The Court held that the petitioners could not subsequently take an inconsistent stand to challenge the foundation of the proceedings, invoking the principle of estoppel by conduct and approbation and reprobation. The Court further held that the Joint Investigation Report, which recorded that the batch had been manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices, did not exonerate the company or its directors, as the report ultimately recommended action in light of the Government Analysts finding that the drug was not of standard quality. Finding no patent illegality, jurisdictional error, perversity or abuse of process in the Magistrates order, the Court dismissed the petition and vacated its 2019 interim order staying the proceedings. It directed the trial court to proceed in accordance with law and clarified that the judgment would not amount to any finding on the ultimate guilt or innocence of the petitioners.
