Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order quashing charges under Section 302 IPC was flawed due to non-application of mind and failure to follow established legal principles. The Court emphasized that the accused had abused the judicial process to delay the trial for nearly a decade. The Supreme Court suspended the High Court's order and directed the trial court to proceed with the case, allowing the mother of the deceased to assist the Public Prosecutor.
