Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the dismissal of the appellant's criminal revision by the Delhi High Court was flawed due to its non-speaking nature, failing to indicate any application of mind or provide reasons for rejecting the appellant's pleas, including the lack of sanction for prosecution under Section 140 of the Delhi Police Act. The Court emphasized that a revision order must articulate reasons for its decision, regardless of the merits of the case. Consequently, the Court set aside the High Court's order and directed it to reconsider the revision with proper reasoning.
