The Supreme Court held that the High Court's exercise of revisional jurisdiction under Section 397 read with Section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was improper in convicting the appellants for offences under Sections 406 and 420 IPC after their acquittal by the trial court. The Court emphasized that the revisional power should not be used to interfere with acquittals unless there is a manifest error. The appeals were allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the trial court's acquittal.
