Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order dated 04.04.2006, remitting the matter for a fresh decision, emphasizing the need for expeditious disposal due to the case's long pendency since 1989. The Court found inconsistencies in the High Court's observations regarding the mental agony suffered by the respondents, leading to the conclusion that the acquittal of the accused should not be disturbed. The Court directed the High Court to resolve the matter within three months, ensuring adherence to legal principles.
