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 at the stage of framing charges, the evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to the prosecution. The Court established that the presence of a conspiracy and the involvement of Kewal Kishan in the incident warranted the framing of charges. Consequently, the Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and reinstated the charges against Kewal Kishan.
