necessary that Commissioner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> establishes a Legal Cell to assist the<br />
Designated Officers <strong>and</strong> Adjudicating Officer in matters relating to launching <strong>of</strong> prosecution<br />
<strong>and</strong> follow up <strong>of</strong> the cases in the different Courts. The <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> Officer need not be<br />
involved in the day today prosecution <strong>of</strong> cases since he will be occupied with inspection <strong>of</strong><br />
food <strong>and</strong> taking <strong>of</strong> samples <strong>and</strong> his involvement in day-today prosecution matters would<br />
hamper performance <strong>of</strong> his duties.<br />
The Commissioner <strong>of</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> may determine the number, nature <strong>and</strong> categories<br />
<strong>of</strong> other <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>and</strong> employees required for the Legal Cell in discharging its functions.<br />
