Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order dismissing an application for leave to appeal against an acquittal must be a speaking order that demonstrates due application of mind, as required by legal standards. The Court found that the High Court's cryptic dismissal lacked sufficient reasoning, rendering it unsustainable. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted the matter for reconsideration with proper justification.
