Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's judgment in Criminal Revision Petition No.643 of 2009, which had overturned an acquittal order under Section 311 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Court granted permission to the private respondents and the State of NCT of Delhi to file appeals against the Sessions Court's judgment within 30 days, emphasizing that the High Court should decide these appeals on merits without considering the limitation period. The Court refrained from commenting on the merits of the case, leaving all contentions open for the upcoming appeals.
