Judgment text excerpt
The appeal challenges a High Court order in a revisional application against an acquittal by the Sessions Court. The primary issue concerns whether the High Court's approach in evaluating the perversity of the acquittal judgment was legally sound. The Supreme Court examines the extent to which a revisional court can interfere with a concurrent finding of innocence and the standards for determining perversity in criminal judgments.
