MOHINDER SINGH AND ORS. ETC. vs STATE OF PUNJAB AND ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in remanding the case to the Sessions Court for a fresh judgment instead of deciding the appeal itself. The Court emphasized that the High Court, as a final court of facts, should have re-appraised the evidence and determined the merits of the case. The Court set aside the High Court's order and directed it to rehear the appeals on merits, affirming that proper government direction existed for filing appeals against all appellants under Sections 302/34 IPC and Section 27 of the Arms Act.
