S.K. Maniruddin vs State Of West Bengal & Anr

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 1.2.2002 in C.R.R. No.1945/2000, which had remanded the case for fresh decision after the Trial Court acquitted the appellant under Sections 498A, 307 & 420 IPC. The Court held that the High Court erred in not recognizing the prosecution's stance of not intending to adduce further evidence, thus rendering the remand unnecessary. The Court concluded that the appeal should be allowed as no useful purpose would be served by further proceedings.
