Shaheda Begum vs State Of A.P. And Ors.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court exceeded its jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure by interfering with criminal proceedings at the stage where only a charge-sheet had been filed. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not have relied on conjectures to reach its conclusions. Consequently, the impugned order was set aside, allowing the appeal and reaffirming that the accused can raise objections when charges are framed.
