Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court overturned the Allahabad High Court's order discharging Akhilesh Singh from charges under Section 120-B, Section 302, and Section 109 of the Indian Penal Code, emphasizing that the High Court erred in quashing the charges without considering the gravity of the conspiracy and the evidence presented. The Court established that a prima facie case existed against the respondent, warranting further proceedings. Consequently, the appeal by the Central Bureau of Investigation was allowed, and the case was remanded for trial.
