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, demonstrating due application of mind, as per established legal principles. The Court found the High Court's cryptic dismissal lacking in reasoning, thus setting aside the order dated 14th July 2005 and remitting the matter back for proper consideration. The appeal was allowed, emphasizing the necessity of reasoned judgments in such cases.
