BELLE EPOQUE A film review by James Berardinelli Copyright 1994 James Berardinelli
Rating (0 to 10): 7.6
Date Released: varies Running Length: 1:48 Rated: R (Sexual situations, brief nudity, language, mature themes)
Starring: Jorge Sanz, Fernando Fernan Gomez, Penelope Cruz, Maribel Verdu, Ariadna Gil, Miriam Diaz-Aroca Director: Fernando Trueba Producer: Fernando Trueba Screenplay: Rafael Azcona Music: Antoine Duhamel Released by Sony Pictures Classics In Spanish with subtitles
"BELLE EPOQUE is the story of Paradise: too good to last. It's about the discovery of life, but the real one, I mean: freedom, art, love, sex, friendship ... all the things that make life interesting. It's an oasis ... Maybe it's too idealistic, but I always thought one of the reasons for cinema was to give pleasure and happiness to the audience. I don't want to make people think about how miserable life is. I prefer to leave that for tomorrow. I like to hear the audience laughing in a dark theater. That's the best music for me." - Fernando Trueba, director/producer of BELLE EPOQUE
BELLE EPOQUE, the winner of nine Goyas (Spanish Oscars), is a charming motion picture that requires only enough thought and concentration to read the subtitles. As a diversion, the film is fabulous. How it managed to win the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar (especially over a contender like FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE) is another matter altogether.
It is 1931. Spain and the country's monarchy is facing its final days. During this time of confusion and conflicting loyalties, Fernando (Jorge Sanz), whose allegiance is to the republic, deserts from the army and goes on the run into the Spanish countryside. There, he meets Manolo (Fernando Fernan Gomez), a painter who shares his political beliefs. The two quickly become friends and Fernando spends a night at the older man's house, listening to his stories and cooking for him. Then, in the morning when Fernando is to leave, Manolo's four young, beautiful daughters--Luz (Penelope Cruz), Rocio (Maribel Verdu), Violeta (Ariadna Gil), and Clara (Miriam Diaz-Aroca)--arrive. Fernando takes one look at them and decides to prolong his stay with Manolo for a while longer.
Some of issues presented by the tumultuous political climate and the churning waters of religious uncertainty keep BELLE EPOQUE from being a completely brainless endeavor. Nevertheless, anything serious is kept strictly in the background, and even the most dismal scenes are presented with enough playfulness to avoid betraying the giddy tone.
With a minimum of nudity, BELLE EPOQUE demonstrates that the blatant displays of flesh from something like SIRENS are unnecessary to set an atmosphere of sensuality. This is a steamy motion picture with its share of bed-hopping and partner-swapping. Penelope Cruz (who revealed a lot more in JAMON, JAMON) alone is enough to make the screen sizzle.
All six major characters are nicely-developed and well-portrayed. Despite the numerous sexual trysts he engages in, Fernando is still something of an innocent, and Jorge Sanz plays him to wide-eyed perfection. The most complex character of all is Manolo, who is based on a real-life acquaintance of producer/director Fernando Trueba. The character's own words describe him best: "I am a rebel, an infidel, and a libertine by nature, living life like a scared old bourgeois."
Each of Manolo's four daughters is different. Rocio is the playful and glamorous one, who in turn fights off and embraces the advances of a clumsy suitor. Violeta is a tomboy, who dresses as a man and won't consider sex until her partner is dressed as a woman. Clara is a widow desperately yearning for companionship. And Luz is a virgin, annoyed that she's not always privy to her older sisters' confidences.
Very little of the humor in BELLE EPOQUE is especially high-brow--in fact, much of it is quite earthy. More important than the nature of the comedy, however, is that it successfully provokes laughter. As was the intention of Fernando Trueba when he crafted the film, the ultimate reaction of the audience is to smile. Despite the subtitles, this is less art than it is fun. BELLE EPOQUE is an enchanting, unpretentious, two-hour vacation from the rigors of real life.

I grew up in Istanbul, Turkey. I attended Robert College, one of the most prestigious high schools in Turkey. I studied Electrical and Electronics Engineering in Bosphorus University.
I have a M.Sc in Engineering from Brown University. I worked in computer vision problems at LEMS lab.
I was a research assistant in the Cardiovascular Research Grid project, developed code for predicting sudden cardiac death or VT/VF events for people implanted with ICD devices.
I like statistics, math and learning new things.
And I learned to love R.
I am Sancar Adali, a PhD Candidate in Applied Mathematics and Statistics at Johns Hopkins University.
I am interested in machine learning and statistics.


When selecting a pivot value, a simple thing to do is to always pick from the same place in the partition. If we use this approach, does it matter whether we always pick from the first position in the partition, the last position in the partition, or the middle position in the partition?
If you pick the first or last one, then sorted input will give the worst case performance.
If you pick the middle value, then it is still possible to get worst-case performance.
But to do so requires a very specific and unusual permuation that will normally occur very rarely.
In theory, all permuations are equally likely. But in practice, the sorted input is much more likely to occur.


workshops
Workshops I organised and co-organised.
I am very active in organising workshops at robotics and computer vision conferences.
Behaviour Priors in Reinforcement Learning for Robotics (ICRA 2022) The goal of this workshop was to discuss the role that behaviour priors could play in Reinforcement Learning for robotics. This includes the various ways in which we can learn/model these priors, methods to integrate their experience within the RL framework and their applicability to solving some of the key challenges faced by RL for real-world robotics.
Embodied AI Workshop (CVPR 2022) Similar to the 2021 edition of the worksop, the goal of this workshop was to share and discuss the current state of intelligent agents that can: see,talk, listen, act, and reason. The Embodied AI 2021 workshop was held virtually in conjunction with CVPR 2021. It featured a host of invited talks covering a variety of topics in Embodied AI, many exciting challenges, a poster session, and panel discussions. We contributed the Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge

It featured a host of invited talks covering a variety of topics in Embodied AI, many exciting challenges, a poster session, and panel discussions. We contributed the Robotic Vision Scene Understanding Challenge
Good Citizens of Robotics Research (RSS 2020) This workshop provided a forum for discussions and commentary on topics about research, dissemination, and community, by taking inspiration from Computer Vision research and this excellent CVPR workshop. We discussed important questions like: How to incentivize and do good systems research? How to best disseminate results, code, and hardware? How to be a fair reviewer? How to be a good area chair? How to support a caring and inclusive community? How to bridge the gap between academia and industry and the role of ethics in their interplay? and in general how to go about being a good citizen of robotics research.
Beyond mAP: Reassessing the Evaluation of Object Detectors (ECCV 2020) This workshop assessed current evaluation procedures for object detection, highlights their shortcomings and opens discussion for possible improvements.
Reliable Deployment of Machine Learning for Long-Term Autonomy (IROS 2020) This workshop focused on the problem of long-term autonomy for mobile robots and the challenge of building a reliabile machine learning components in the robotic system that can handle bad sensory data, shifts to abnormal operational conditions, misclassification and detections.
The Importance of Uncertainty in Deep Learning for Robotics (IROS 2019)
In this workshop we discussed the importance of uncertainty in deep learning for robotic applications. The workshop will provided tutorial-style talks that coverd the state-of-the-art of uncertainty quantification in deep learning, specifically Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches, spanning perception, world-modeling, decision making, and actions. Invited expert speakers discussed the importance of uncertainty in deep learning for robotic perception, but also action.
Robotic Vision Probabilistic Object Detection Challenge (CVPR 2019)
This workshop brought together the participants of the first Robotic Vision Challenge on Probabilistic Object Detection, a new competition targeting both the computer vision and robotics communities. The workshop focussed on outcomes of the competition in the morning session, featuring talks by the four best scoring teams. After that we welcomed our invited speakers in the afternoon. Organised with Feras Dayoub and other colleagues from the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, and Anelia Angelova from Google AI.
Deep Learning for Semantic Visual Navigation (CVPR 2019)
We discussed ideas to advance visual navigation by combining recent developments in deep and reinforcement learning. A special focus was on approaches that incorporate more semantic information into navigation, and combine visual input with other modalities such as language. Organised with colleagues from Google AI (Alexander Toshav, Anelia Angelova) and Imperial College London (Ronald Clark, Andrew Davison).
New Benchmarks, Metrics, and Competitions for Robotic Learning (RSS 2018)
Similar in scope and topic to the CVPR workshop, here we discussed new benchmarks, competitions, and performance metrics that address the specific challenges arising when deploying (deep) learning in robotics.
Real-World Challenges and New Benchmarks for Deep Learning in Robotic Vision (CVPR 2018)
In this workshop we discussed crucial challenges arising when deploying deep learning methods in real-world robotic applications, and a set of future large scale robotic vision benchmarks to address the critical challenges for robotic perception that are not yet covered by existing computer vision and robotics benchmarks, such as performance in open-set conditions, incremental learning with low-shot techniques, Bayesian optimisation, active learning, and active vision.
Long-term autonomy and deployment of intelligent robots in the real-world (ICRA 2018)
This workshop (led by Feras Dayoub) discussed the challenges of autonomous robots that have to reliably operate for long periods of time while having to demonstrate a high level of robustness and fault tolerance.
Learning for Localization and Mapping (IROS 2017)
The goal of this workshop was to present and discuss developments in learning-based approaches for localization and mapping systems.
Invited speakers: Wolfram Burgard (University of Freiburg), Jana Kosecka (George Mason University), Stefan Leutenegger (Imperial College London), Simon Lynen (Google), Marc Pollefeys (Microsoft).
Organised with Cesar Cadena and Igor Gilitschenski (both ETH Zurich), John Leonard and Sudeep Pillai (both MIT), and Fabio Ramos (University of Sydney)
New Frontiers for Deep Learning in Robotics (RSS 2017)
A wide range of renowned experts discussed deep learning techniques at the frontier of research that are not yet widely adopted, discussed, or well-known in our community. We carefully selected research topics such as Bayesian deep learning, generative models, or deep reinforcement learning for planning and navigation that are of high relevance and potentially groundbreaking for robotic perception, learning, and control. The workshop introduces these techniques to the robotics audience, but also exposes participants from the machine learning community to real-world problems encountered by robotics researchers that apply deep learning in their research.
Invited speakers: Yann LeCun (Facebook, NYU), Yarin Gal (University of Cambridge), Josh Tenenbaum (MIT), David Cox (Harvard), Chelsea Finn (UC Berkeley), Piotr Mirowski (DeepMind), Aaron Courville (Université de Montréal).
Organised with the support of Jürgen Leitner, Michael Milford, Peter Corke (QUT, Brisbane), and Pieter Abbeel (UC Berkeley).
Deep Learning for Robotic Vision (CVPR 2017)
Recent advances in deep learning techniques have made impressive progress in many areas of computer vision, including classification, detection, and segmentation. While all of these areas are relevant to robotics applications, robotics also presents many unique challenges which require new approaches.
Robotic vision specific challenges include the need for real-time analysis, the need for accurate 3d understanding of scenes, and the difficulty of doing experiments at scale. There are also opportunities robotics brings to computer vision, for example the ability to control position and viewing direction of the camera, and to provide a data source for “grounded” learning of concepts, reducing the need for manual labeling.
Invited speakers: Jitendra Malik (UC Berkeley), Raquel Urtasun (U Toronto / Uber ATG), Dieter Fox (U Washington), Honglak Lee (Google Brain / U Michigan), Abhinav Gupta (CMU), Jianxiong Xiao (AutoX), Richard Newcombe (Facebook), Raia Hadsell (Google DeepMind), Ashutosh Saxena (Brain of Things).
Organised with support from Jürgen Leitner, Michael Milford, Ben Upcroft, Peter Corke (QUT, Brisbane), Pieter Abbeel (UC Berkeley), Wolfram Burgard (Uni Freiburg).
Are the Sceptics Right? - Limits and Potentials of Deep Learning in Robotics (RSS 2016)
We analysed why deep learning has not yet had the huge impact in robotics it had in neighboring research disciplines, and especially in computer vision. The workshop will identify the limits and potentials of current deep learning techniques in robotics, and will propose directions for future research to overcome those limits and realize the promising potentials.
Invited speakers: John Leonard (MIT), Larry Jackel (North C Technologies), Dieter Fox (Washington University), Oliver Brock (TU Berlin), Pieter Abbeel (UC Berkeley), Walter Scheirer (University of Notre Dame), Raia Hadsell (Google DeepMind), Ashutosh Saxena (Cornell and Stanford University).
Co-organisers were Jürgen Leitner, Michael Milford, Ben Upcroft, Peter Corke (QUT, Brisbane), Pieter Abbeel (UC Berkeley), Wolfram Burgard (Uni Freiburg).
Visual Place Recognition: What is it good for? (RSS 2016)
This half-day workshop, co-organised with Ben Upcroft, Michael Milford (QUT, Brisbane), and Peer Neubert (TU Chemnitz), focussed on concepts and ideas for robust vision‐based place recognition in severely changing environments as well as discussing the extent to which place recognition is useful, or even required for robots.
Visual Place Recognition in Changing Environments (ICRA 2015)
This half-day workshop at ICRA 2015 in Seattle built on the highly successful 2014 workshop of the same name at ICRA, and discussed novel concepts and ideas for robust vision-based place recognition in severely changing environments. Organised with Peter Corke and Michael Milford.
Around 130 people followed the invited talks and paper presentations in a large ballroom.
Visual Place Recognition in Changing Environments (CVPR 2015)
This workshop continued the discussion from the previous year at ICRA and addressed the computer vision community at CVPR. Organised with Peter Corke and Michael Milford (QUT, Brisbane), and Torsten Sattler (ETH Zürich).
Approximately 40 people came by for talks and poster presentations. It was great to interact with the authors and of course the invited speakers Josef Sivic and John Leonard at CVPR as well as David Cox and Chi Hay Tong at ICRA. Thanks everybody for contributing!
Visual Place Recognition in Changing Environments (ICRA 2014)
Organised with Peter Corke and Michael Milford (QUT, Brisbane). We discussed novel concepts and ideas for robust vision-based place recognition in severely changing environments. Such changes – induced e.g. by the time of day, weather or seasonal effects as well as human activity – are a ubiquitous challenge for all autonomous systems aiming at long-term operations in both indoor and outdoor settings.
We had 9 contributed papers, a tutorial given by Peter, and invited talks by Michael and Paul Newman.
Robust and Multimodal Inference in Factor Graphs (ICRA 2013
This full-day workshop brought together researchers working on novel approaches for modelling and inference in factor graphs. The goal of the workshop was to discuss techniques that introduce a larger robustness and allow incorporating multi-modal Gaussian or non-Gaussian measurements. New concepts of how to infere multi-modal posteriors were also in the scope of the workshop, as well as novel applications beyond the ubiquitous pose graph SLAM. I organised this workshop with John Leonard (MIT CSAIL) and Edwin Olson (University of Michigan)

SEX: THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2000 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
"I believe that sex is good enough to die for," Annabel Chong says, talking about why she was willing to set the (short-lived) world record for a gang-bang by having sex with 251 men in 10 hours. Like the rest of Gough Lewis's sensationalized but shallow documentary, SEX: THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY, her brave boast doesn't hold up under examination. The men either wore condoms or were HIV-tested porn stars, and Annabel is just an exhibitionist who doesn't care much about anything other that getting attention.
The documentary, however, tries with little success to paint a completely different portrait of Annabel -- that of a modern-day feminist. Annabel, the film suggests, is in the porn industry for a variety of reasons from the oppression of having to grow up in strict, Christian Singapore to her rape in London. Like much of the story, the devil is in the details.  She says how excited she was when he brought in his friend. After others came along, it got out of hand and was frightening for her, so she paints herself as a victim. She doesn't own up to causing some of her own difficulties.
Unlike the thoughtful and insightful THE GIRL NEXT DOOR about porn star Stacy Valentine, this documentary is built with one cheap shot after another. It even opens with the king of schlock, Jerry Springer. He asks Annabel why she did her famous sex extravaganza, and she gives that classic non-answer of "well, why not?" The movie is filled with such bad questions followed by even worse non-responses. "What sort of artistic statement were you making?" one fawning TV talk show host asks Annabel.
Perhaps my least favorite throw-away question is the one that the director asks Grace's mother. (Grace is Annabel's real name.) He wants to know if Grace has always been an overachiever. Guess, what? The mother says, "yes."
There are many good questions that could have been asked.  Another might be, what was it that attracted men enough to have them rent her tapes before the marathon sex session which brought her notoriety. This crude movie is more concerned with a quick buck, so such informative questions are avoided.
The movie, which drones on and on, with one talking head after another, feels like it will never end. The movie concludes in a long and boring segment set mainly at Grace's home in Hong Kong, where she cries as she tells her mother that she'll make her proud again. (Annabel's lack of credible acting ability really shows through in these scenes.) One wonders if the director is trying to make the audience feel Annabel's exhaustion during her sexual Olympics, as he drags out his movie way past it's natural ending point.
 It does, however, contain one extremely funny bit of self-deprecating humor.
SEX: THE ANNABEL CHONG STORY runs a very long 1:26. It is not rated but would be NC-17 for strong sex scenes and language. The film would not be acceptable for those under 19.

There are plenty of guides about apt pinning, but no one really explains the motivation to do so. It took me some time to understand that, so I thought I'd write it down.
The Issue
The mainstream method of downloading and installing packages from a
repository is via APT (Advanced Packaging
Tool). When using
apt, the administrator usually says which package he wants installed,
but apt needs a bit more information:
Which source?
The same package may be available from multiple sources. For example, my
development server is set up to have 3 repositories, all containing some
version of python:
- The Debian
stable
repository, guaranteeing compatibility with other packages - The Debian
backports
repository, including more features but still pretty stable - The Debian
unstable
repository, offering many new features but risking weird behaviour and undiscovered bugs
Unless told manually which repository to install from, apt has to choose
one by itself.
Which version?
When maintaining a server farm, it's important to remember two things:
- The software packages should be updated regularly, to protect the server from bugs and security vulnerabilities that were discovered (and fixed in newer versions).
- Some upgrades shouldn't be allowed, because they modify the software's behaviour in an unacceptable way. For instance, upgrading mongodb to version 2.4 changes the JavaScript engine to multithreading, possibly messing up some scripts. The administrator can't afford having some servers with the new versions and some not, so when installing a new server the administrator doesn't want the new package.
In short, apt should choose a version that is new, but not too new.
The Solution - Priorities
To solve this issue, apt assigns each package option
(name
+version
+source
) a priority number. When installing a package, the
command usually looks something like:
sudo apt-get install puppet
Apt-get then collects all of the possible options, sorts them by
descending priority (highest priority to lowest) and then by descending
version. It chooses the top option and installs that. The administrator
can manipulate the options' priorities, causing apt to prefer the
"right" version.
For example, I pinned my puppet agent package to a specific version.
When executing:
apt-cache policy puppet
We can see the pinning:
Defaults
For Debian / Ubuntu, all of the sources have the same priority - 500. Usually, apt only encounters one option available of every package, so there is no collision. When installing / upgrading packages, apt chooses the latest version released by the official repository - the best package to install.
Dangers of Pinning
Pinning causes apt to change its default behaviour, so if you're doing it - you better have a reason. Incorrect pinning can cause:
- Not upgrading old packages, meaning you're exposed to security, performance and reliability issues
- Upgrading to unstable versions, meaning you're exposed to (you guessed it) security, performance and reliability issues
- Installing nonfunctional packages - some sources may upload packages that are incorrectly built, or contain wrong metadata, causing them to misbehave and even break other packages
See my other post about pinning for guidelines about what to pin and how.

Money Play. How should Red play 54? If the cube is in the centre does that alter the play?
pips Red=91 White=145
(CorrectAnswer= 0/0, ErrorScore= 0)
A very useful position which reminded me of a key learning point.
Firstly, with a centred cube, Red should double and White should pass – it is a double blunder to take. If Red doesn't double then he should not give White a free shot to win the game by playing 13/9, 13/8. That play is a double blunder. He should play 8/3, 5/1 and re-evaluate next turn and hopefully do better!
With the cube on White's side of the board it is a different matter and Red must use the checkers to win. After 8/3, 5/1 Red's structure is poor and he will need a lot of luck to bring the position home without leaving any shots. So much so that he should pay now with 13/9, 13/8.
There is quite a bit of life after death even if he is hit – one of the key considerations in ‘pay me now, pay me later' problems.
It is a small error to play safe with 8/3, 5/1 with White holding the cube.

PETITIONER: U.P. POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD Vs. RESPONDENT: MODI DISTILLERY & ORS. DATE OF JUDGMENT06/08/1987 BENCH: SEN, A.P. (J) BENCH: SEN, A.P. (J) NATRAJAN, S. (J) CITATION: 1988 AIR 1128 1987 SCR (3) 798 1987 SCC (3) 684 JT 1987 (3) 221 1987 SCALE (2)208 ACT: Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974: Ss. 25, 26, 44 & 47--Company--Discharge of trade effluents without consent of the Board--Commission of offence under the Act--Officials of the Company whether guilty of offence----Vicarious responsibility. Practice and Procedure: Prevention and Control of Pollu- tion-Launching of prosecution--Need for drafting complaints with circumspection and without any technical flaw. HEADNOTE: The respondent-distillery, an industrial unit of M/s. Modi Industries Ltd., at Modi Nagar manufacturing industrial alcohol has been discharging its highly noxious and polluted trade effluents into the river through a local drain. It applied to the Pollution Control Board under ss. 25(1) and 26 of the Act on March 27, 1981 for consent of the Board to discharge its trade effluents into the stream. The Board found the application incomplete in many respects, and called upon the respondents to rectify the discrepancies. As there was no response from the respondents, the appellant Board refused to grant the consent prayed for in the public interest and thereafter issued notice under s. 20 of the Act directing the Company to furnish certain information regard- ing the particulars and names of the Managing Director, Directors and other persons responsible for the conduct of the Company. This was followed by various reminders. Finding no response from the respondents, the Board on October 21, 1983 lodged a complaint against the respondents under s. 44 of the Act in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaziabad. Instead of launching a prosecution against M/s. Modi Industries Ltd., the Board impleaded the industrial unit as respondent No. 1 and the Chairman. Vice- Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of the Company as respondent Nos. 2 to 11. The Judicial Magistrate directed the issue of process. 799 The respondents preferred a revision under s. 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 before the High Court in which an application was filed under s. 482 of the Code for quashing the proceedings. The Single Judge of the High Court quashed the proceedings on the ground that there could be no vicarious liability saddled on the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and other members of the Board of Direc- tors of the Company under s. 47 of the Act unless there was a prosecution of the Company. Allowing the appeal, HELD: A combined reading of the provisions contained in subss. (1) and (2) of s. 47 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 makes it apparent that the officials of the Company owning the respondent industrial unit could be prosecuted as having been in charge of and responsible to the Company for the business of that unit and could be deemed to be guilty of the offence with which they were charged. [804DE] The industrial unit owned by the Company was discharging its trade effluents into the river prior to the commencement of the Act. It was, therefore, mandatory for the Company to make an application to the Board under s. 25(2) read with s. 26 of the Act for grant of consent for the discharge of its trade effluents into the stream. The application made by the industrial unit having been found incomplete in many re- spects was rejected by the Board in public interest. There- after the Company which did not have proper arrangements for treatment of the highly polluted trade effluents discharged by it, had been in spite of repeated letters from the Board intentionally and deliberately avoiding compliance with the requirements of ss. 25(1) and 26 rendering themselves pun- ishable under s. 44 of the Act. The Chairman. ViceChairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of the Company in such capacity were incharge of and responsi- ble for the conduct of the business of the Company and were, therefore, deemed to be guilty of the said offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished under s. 47 of the Act. [805H-806F] The vicarious liability of these officials of the Compa- ny is to be viewed not in isolation but in the conspectus of facts and events and not in vacuum. The technical flaw in the complaint lodged by the appellant Board had occurred due to the recalcitrant attitude of the industrial unit, which in spite of more than one notice being issued had deliber- ately failed to furnish information called for regarding the particulars and 800 names of the Managing Director, Directors and other persons responsible for the conduct of the Company. Having wilfully failed to furnish the requisite information to the Board, it is not open to the respondents 2 to 11 to seek the Court's assistance to derive advantage from the lapse committed by their own industrial unit. Furthermore, the legal infirmity is of such a nature which could be easily cured by having the matter remitted to the trial court with a direction to call upon the appellant to make the formal amendments to the averments in the complaint so as to make the controlling company of the industrial unit figure as the concerned accused. [805BC, 804G, EF, H-805A] The Board and its legal advisors should have drafted the complaint with greater circumspection not to leave any technical flaw which would invalidate the initiation of the prosecution allowing a large business house to escape the consequences of the breaches committed by it of the provi- sions of the Act with impunity. [805GH] JUDGMENT:
CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION: Criminal Appeal No. 415 of 1986.
From the Judgment and Order dated 16.5. 1984 of the Allahabad High Court in Crl. Rev. No. 2330 of 1983. R.N. Trivedi, Additional Advocate General (U.P.) Mrs. S. Dikshit and C.B. Singh for the Appellant.
Ram Jethmalani, Rajinder Sachhar, and D.N. Mishra for the Respondents.
The Judgment of the Court was delivered by SEN, J. This appeal by special leave is directed against the judgment and order of the High Court of Allahabad dated May 16, 1984 setting aside in its revisional jurisdiction an order of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaziabad dated November 3, 1983 directing the issue of process against the respondents on a complaint filed by the appellant under section 44 of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollu- tion) Act, 1974. The issue involved is whether the Chair- man, ViceChairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the Company owning the industrial unit called Messrs Modi Dis- tillery could be proceeded against on a complaint against the said industrial unit. A learned Single Judge (K.C. Agarwal, J.) following the decision of this Court in State (Delhi 801 Admn.) v. LK. Nangia & Anr., [1980] 1 SCC 258 interpreting a similar provision contained in sub-s. (4) of s. 17 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 had held that there was no sufficient ground against the respondents inasmuch as the allegations made in the complaint do not constitute an offence punishable under section 44 for the admitted contravention of ss. 25(1) and 26 read with s. 47 of the Act. The question essentially turns upon the rule of construction to be adopted in s. 47.
The facts of the case are these. Messrs Modi Industries Limited is an existing company under the Companies Act, 1956. It is a large business organisation having diversified business activities. Prior to the commencement of the Act it had established an industrial unit called Messrs Modi Dis- tillery at Modi Nagar, Gaziabad engaged in the business of manufacture and sale of industrial alcohol. During the process of manufacture of such industrial alcohol, the said industrial unit discharges its highly noxious and polluted trade effluents into the Kali River through the Kadrabad Drain which is a stream within the meaning of s. 2(j) of the Act and thereby causes continuous pollution of the said stream without the consent of the Board and therefore it falls within the purview of s. 26. Under the provisions of s. 26, as amended, it has been made mandatory for every existing industry to obtain the consent of the Board for discharging its trade effluent into a stream or well or sewer or on land. The last date for submission of such application seeking the consent of the Board by an existing industry had been extended upto December 31, 1981. In ac- cordance with the procedure laid down under ss. 25(1) and 26 of the Act, the Company was required to submit an applica- tion for consent of the Board in the prescribed form along with the prescribed consent fee and the particulars. Instead of the Company its industrial unit, namely, Messrs Modi Distillery on March 27, 1981 applied to the Board for grant of consent to discharge its trade effluents into the stream. The aforesaid application was scrutinised by the Board and found incomplete in many respects. The Board accordingly by its letter dated April 29, 1981 informed the said industrial unit with regard to the discrepancies and the particulars wanting. There was no response from the respondents nor did they rectify the discrepancies pointed out or furnish the particulars required. The Board accordingly by its letter dated July 30, 1981 refused to grant the consent prayed for in the public interest since the application was found incomplete in many respects and also because the said indus- trial unit did not have proper arrangements for treatment of its highly polluted trade effluents. Thereafter, the Board by its letter dated June 30, 1982 issued a notice under s. 20 of the Act 802 directing the Company to furnish certain information regard- ing the particulars and names of the Managing Director, Directors and other persons responsible for the conduct of the Company, but the respondents did not furnish the infor- mation called for. This was followed by two subsequent letters of the Board dated February 21, 1983 and June 9, 1983 drawing the attention of the respondents that they were deliberately violating the provisions of the Act and thereby rendering themselves liable to be punished under s. 44 for contravention of the provisions of ss. 25(1) and 26. On October 21, 1983 the Board lodged a complaint against the respondents under s. 44 of the Act in the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaziabad. Unfortunately, the complaint was inartistically drafted. It was averred in paragraph 2 that Messrs Modi Distillery i.e. the industrial unit was a company within the meaning of s. 47 of the Act, that it had been knowingly and wilfully discharging its highly noxious and polluted trade effluents into the Kali River which is a stream within the meaning of s. 2(j) of the Act through the Kadrabad Drain and thereby causing continuous pollution of the said stream. There were eleven persons arrayed as ac- cused. Instead of launching a prosecution against Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the Board impleaded its industrial unit Messrs Modi Distillery as respondent no. 1 while re- spondents nos.' 2-11 were the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of Messrs Modi Industries Limited i.e. the Company owning the industrial unit.
It appears that the respondents did not appear before the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate in response to the notice issued to them. The learned Magistrate after record- ing the statement of S.M. Pandey, Legal Assistant of the Board directed the issue of process to the respondents. Aggrieved, respondents nos. 2, 3 and 4, namely, K.M. Modi, K.K. Modi and M.L. Modi, the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director respectively of Messrs Modi Industries Limited preferred a revision before the High Court under s. 397 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Two of the other accused, namely, S.C. Trikha and Raghunath Rai, the nominated members of the Board of Directors of the Company also filed an application before the High Court under s. 482 of the Code for quashing the proceedings. As already stated, a learned Single Judge invoking the revisional jurisdiction of the High Court has quashed the proceedings on the ground that there could be no vicarious liability saddled on the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and other members of the Board of Directors of the Company under s. 47 of the Act unless there was a prosecution of the Company i.e. Messrs Modi Industries Limited. He 803 held that the complaint suffers from the serious legal infirmity and in the circumstances, to allow the proceedings to continue would amount to an abuse of the process of the Court.
The question that arises in the appeal is whether the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors are liable to be proceeded against under s. 47 of the Act in the absence of a prosecution of the Company owning the said industrial unit. S. 47 insofar as material reads as follows:
"47. Offences by companies--(1) Where an offence under this Act has been committed by a company every person who at the time the offence was committed was in charge of, and was responsible to the company for the con- duct, of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. Provided that nothing contained in this sub-section shall render any such person liable to any punishment provided in this Act if he proves that the offence was committed without his knowledge or that he exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence.
(2) Notwithstanding anything con- tained in subsection (1), where an offence under this Act has been committed by a company and it is proved that the offence has been committed with the consent or connivance of or, is attributable to any neglet on the part of, any director. manager, secretary or other officer of the company, such director, manag- er, secretary or other officer shall also be deemed to be guilty of that offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly."
On a plain reading of sub-s. (1) of s. 47 of the Act, where an offence has been committed by a company, every person who at the time of the commission of the offence was in charge of and responsible to' the company for the conduct of the business of the company, as well as the company, shall be deemed to be guilty of the offence and shall be liable to be proceeded against and punished accordingly. Proviso to sub-s. (1) however engrafts an exception in the case of any such person if he were to prove that the offence was committed without his knowledge or that he exercised all due diligence to prevent the 804 commission of such offence. It would be noticed that sub-s. (1) of s. 47 is much wider than sub-s.(4) of s. 17 of the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954 which fell for consideration in I.K. Nangia's case. Furthermore, proviso to sub-s. (1) shifts the burden on the delinquent officer or servant of the company responsible for the commission of the offence. The burden is on him to prove that he did not know of the offence or connived in it or that he had exercised all due diligence to prevent the commission of such offence. The non-obstante clause in sub-s. (2) expressly provides that notwithstanding anything contained in sub-s. (1), where an offence under the Act has been committed by a company and it is proved that the offence has been committed with the consent or connivance of, or, is attributable to any neglect on the part of, any director, manager, secretary or other officer of the company, such director, manager, secretary or other officer shall also be deemed to be guilty of that offence, and shall be liale to be proceeded against and punished accordingly.
On a combined reading of the provisions contained in sub-ss. (1) and (2), we have no doubt whatever that the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the Company owning the industrial unit Messrs Modi Distill- ery could be prosecuted as having been in charge of and responsible to the company, for the business of the indus- trial unit Messrs Modi Distillery owned by it and could be deemed to be guilty of the offence with which they are charged. The learned Single Judge has failed to bear in mind that this situation has been brought about by the industrial unit viz. Messrs Modi Distillery of Messrs Modi Industries Limited because in spite of more than one notice being issued by the Board, the unit of Messrs Modi Distillery deliberately failed to furnish the information called for regarding the particulars and names of the Managing Direc- tor, Directors and other persons responsible for the conduct of the Company. Having wilfully failed to furnish the requi- site information to the Board, it is now not open to the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and other members of the Board of Directors to seek the Court's assistance to derive advantage from the lapse committed by their own industrial unit. The learned Single Judge has focussed his attention only on the technical flaw in the complaint and has failed to comprehend that the flaw had occurred due to the recalcitrant attitude of Messrs Modi Distillery and furthermore the infirmity is one which could be easily removed by having the matter remitted to the Chief Judicial Magistrate with a direction to call upon the appellant to make the formal amendments to the averments contained in paragraph 2 of the comp-
805laint so as to make the controlling company of the industri- al unit figure as the concerned accused in the complaint. All that has to be done is the making of a formal applica- tion for amendment by the appellant for leave to amend by substituting the name of Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the Company owning the industrial unit, in place of Messrs Modi Distillery. Although as a pure proposition of law in the abstract the learned Single Judge's view that there can be no vicarious liability of the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors under sub-s. (1) or (2) of s. 47 of the Act unless there was a prosecution against Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the Company owning the industrial trait, can be termed as cor- rect, the objection raised by the petitioners before the High Court ought to have been viewed not in isolation but in the conspectus of facts and events and not in vacuum. We have already pointed out that the technical flaw in the complaint is attributable to the failure of the industrial unit to furnish the requisite information called for by the Board. Furthermore, the legal infirmity is of such a nature which could be easily cured. Another circumstance which brings out the narrow perspective of the learned Single Judge is his failure to appreciate the fact that the aver- ment in paragraph 2 has to be construed in the light of the averments contained in paragraphs 17, 18 and 19 which are to the effect that the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Direc- tor and members of the Board of Directors were also liable for the alleged offence committed by the Company. It is regrettable that although Parliament enacted the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 to meet the urgent need for introducing a comprehensive legis- lation with its established unitary agencies in the Centre and the States to provide for the prevention. abatement and control of pollution of rivers and streams, for maintaining or restoring wholesomeness of water courses and for control- ling the existing and new discharges of domestic and indus- trial wastes, which is a matter of grave national concern, the manner in which some of the Boards are functioning leaves much to be desired. This is an instance where due to the sheer negligence on the part of the legal advisors in drafting the complaint a large business house is allowed to escape the consequences of the breaches committed by it of the provisions of the Act with impunity, It was expected that the Board and its legal advisors should have drafted the complaint with greater circumspection not to leave any technical flaw which would invalidate the initiation of the prosecution allowing the respondents to escape the conse- quences of the breaches committed by them of the provisions of the Act with impunity. As already stated, prior to the commencement 806 of the Act the Company owned an industrial unit styled as Messrs Modi Distillery which was discharging its trade effluents into the Kali River through the Kadrabad Drain and therefore the matter fell within the ambit of s. 26 of the Act. S. 26 provides that where immediately before the com- mencement of the Act any person was discharging any sewage or trade effluent into a stream, the provisions of s. 25 shall, so far as may be, apply to such person as they apply in relation to a person referred to in that section. S. 25(1) creates an absolute prohibition against bringing into use any new or altered outlet for the discharge of sewage or trade' effluent into a stream without the consent of the Board. On a combined reading of ss. 25(1) and 26 it was mandatory for the Company viz. Messrs Modi Industries Limit- ed to make an application to the Board under sub-s. (2) of s. 25 read with s. Z6 in the prescribed form containing the prescribed particulars for grant of consent for the dis- charge of its trade effluents into the said stream, subject to such conditions as it may impose. Along with the com- plaint the appellant has placed on record several documents showing that the rejection of the application was in the public interest as it was incomplete in many respects. These documents also reveal that the Company did not have proper arrangements for treatment of the highly polluted trade effluents discharged by it and although the appellant re- peatedly by its letter required the Company to obtain the consent of the Board, the Company was intentionally and deliberately avoiding compliance of the requirements of ss. 25(1) and 26 of the Act. The contravention of these provi- sions is an offence punishable under s. 44. The other ten persons arrayed by name as accused in the complaint are respondents nos. 2-11, the Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Managing Director and members of the Board of Directors of Messrs Modi Industries Limited. It cannot be doubted that in such capacity they were in charge of and responsible for the conduct of the business of the Company and were therefore deemed to be guilty of the said offence and liable to be proceeded against and punished under s. 47 of the Act. It would be a travesty of justice if the big business house of Messrs Modi Industries Limited is allowed to defeat the prosecution launched and avoid facing the trial on a techni- cal flaw which is not incurable for their alleged deliberate and wilful breach of the provisions contained in ss. 25(1) and 26 made punishable under s. 44 read with s. 47 of the Act.
Faced with the difficulty of refuting the gravamen of the offence set out in the complaint, Shri Ram Jethmalani, learned counsel appearing for the respondents drew our attention to the counteraffidavit of Virendra Prasad, Manag- er (Personnel & Administration), Modi Distillery dated January 13, 1986 and the two supplementary 807 affidavits dated August 25, 1986 and November 17, 1986 tending to show that Messrs Modi Industries Limited, the company owning the industrial unit, have taken effective steps to set up an effluents treatment plant by entering into an agreement dated December 23, 1985 with Messrs Chemi- cal Consultants & Engineers, Ahmadnagar who would set it up in collaboration with Sulzer Bros. Limited, Switzerland by employment of the technical knowhow which would be able to recover methane gas upto 70% and also bring down BOD reduc- tion upto 90%. Further, it is averred that the company sought and obtained the approval of the Board subject to a time schedule for erection and installation of the plant by the end of June 1987. It is also averred that since the Government of India has turned down the application of the respondents for subsidy for installation of the said plant insofar as the year 1985-86 was concerned, they are trying other sources of finance and that in the meanwhile pending the installation and commissioning of the plant based on the Sulzer's process are treating the effluents by alternative methods in order to reduce the extent of BOD discharge. They are diluting the effluents by mixing fresh water to the extent of 13 to 15 times the amount of effluent discharged in order to reduce the extent of pollution. In view of the subsequent events the learned counsel submits that this was a fit case for dropping the proceedings. The averments made by the respondents in the various affidavits have been controverted by the affidavit-in-rejoinder sworn by Chandra Bhal Singh, Law Officer of the appellant-Board showing that there is little or no progress in the matter of establish- ment of the effluents treatment plant. We need not enter into this controversy. These are all matters to be dealt with by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate. The result therefore is that the appeal succeeds and is allowed. The judgment and order passed by the High Court are set aside and that of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate directing issue of process to the respondents are restored. The learned Magistrate shall proceed with the trial as expeditiously as possible in accordance with law.

allowed.
