Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in framing charges under Section 120-B IPC against the appellants, as such charges were not made by the Assistant Sessions Judge. The Court emphasized that the High Court should not have altered the charges without proper basis, thus setting aside the High Court's order and affirming the Assistant Sessions Judge's decision. The judgment clarified the limits of appellate review concerning charge framing under the IPC.
