Man Singh vs State Of U.P

The Supreme Court held that the trial court's failure to adequately put all incriminating circumstances to the appellant under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure constituted a violation of the appellant's right to a fair trial. The Court emphasized that the accused must be given an opportunity to explain all evidence against them, and the perfunctory nature of the questioning in this case led to grave prejudice. Consequently, the Court acquitted the appellant of the charges under Section 60(2) of the U.P. Excise Act, 1910.
