Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court, while exercising its powers under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code, should not have interfered with the orders of the District & Sessions Judge, Akola. The Court restored the orders passed by the District & Sessions Judge and set aside the High Court's decision, emphasizing the importance of respecting the lower court's jurisdiction. The appeal was allowed, and the orders of the High Court were overturned.
