Badrilal vs Chandan Singh & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the High Court of Madhya Pradesh erred in dismissing the State's appeal against acquittal without considering it on merit, thereby violating the principles of justice. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have granted leave to appeal in this case, allowing the State to challenge the acquittal of the accused. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for reconsideration on merits.
