Hi All
There was some typing error in the above.. Please ignore the earlier posting.
My clients are based in Gujrat (Baroda) and 25 yrs a ago 2 cases were filed against them under food and adulteration act. They had 2 restaurants on partnership both of which have been now shut since 10 years. 2 offences have been registered against them under the name of 2 diff hotels 
1) Offence No 1- Small quantity of milk was found in amras. They should have actually named it Mango Milkshake instead of amras
2) Offence No.2.- a small black insect was found in raw rice that was taken as a sample from their hotel while inspection.
 In both the above cases the matter is still on the starting stage and nothing has been done since 25 years. The advocate there says that its always the Food Inspector who remains absent. When spoke to the lawyer there asking him to expedite the matter he said that it cannot be done since court does not take any cognizance even if such an appli is made. He says the only solution is to get quashing orders from the High Court. Also if we plead guilty will the person be imprisoned since he is already 70 yrs of age and the case is goin on since 25 years. Is the lawyer there misguiding them.
My clients are senior citizens and cannot travel and hence do not want to take it to the high Court.
Please help as in  what way can we end this case us.
Please advice on further course
