ALMOHAN DAS AND ORS. vs STATE OF WEST BENGAL

The Supreme Court held that under Section 209 of the Criminal Procedure Code, a Magistrate must determine if there is sufficient evidence to justify commitment, not conviction. The Court dismissed the appeal, affirming that the evidence presented was adequate for the Magistrate to commit the accused for trial under Sections 120B, 409, and 477A IPC. The High Court's refusal to reappraise evidence in a revision application was justified, as it typically does not interfere unless a substantial question of law arises.
