Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the charges against Kewal Kishan under Section 120B/307 IPC and Sections 27/30 of the Arms Act, emphasizing that the stage of framing charges requires consideration of the entire evidence, not just the F.I.R. The Court reiterated that the High Court should not exercise its revisional powers to quash charges without a comprehensive examination of the evidence. The judgment of the High Court was set aside, and the matter was remanded for further proceedings.
