Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that under Article 136 of the Constitution, it does not typically re-evaluate evidence unless there is a significant procedural irregularity or violation of natural justice. The Court found no such infirmity in the trial court's acquittal of the accused, and upheld the High Court's reversal of that acquittal, affirming the Additional Government Advocate's authority to present the appeal against acquittal as a Public Prosecutor under Section 4(1)(t) and Section 492 of the CrPC. The appeals were dismissed, maintaining the High Court's decision.
