Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the Jharkhand High Court erred in setting aside the trial court's acquittal of the appellants under Sections 364, 366A, 368, and 120B IPC without providing adequate reasoning or analysis of evidence. The Court emphasized that revisional jurisdiction should only be exercised in cases of glaring procedural defects or manifest errors of law. Consequently, the Supreme Court reinstated the trial court's acquittal, highlighting the necessity for the High Court to articulate its reasoning in judicial orders.
