Judgment text excerpt
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. The Court emphasized that the High Court should have granted leave to appeal, as the case warranted further examination. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 9th January 2002 and remitted the matter for the High Court to grant leave to appeal and decide the case on its merits.
