SANJAI vs STATE OF U.P.

The Supreme Court held that in the absence of a charge-sheet against appellants Nos. 2 to 4, the impugned judgment cannot be sustained and must be set aside. The Court allowed the criminal miscellaneous application for quashing the proceedings in Case Crime No. 73/03, thereby disposing of the appeal favorably for the appellants. This decision underscores the necessity of a charge-sheet for proceeding against accused individuals in criminal cases.
