Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal by the State of Punjab, affirming the acquittal of Charanjit Singh in all cases, including those involving explosives. The Court noted the absence of valid sanction prior to trial and highlighted that all witnesses were police personnel, thus lacking credibility. The ruling reinforces the principle that acquittal in prior cases and lack of proper sanction are critical in determining the validity of prosecution.
