Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court erred in quashing the cognizance order under Sections 302 and 120B IPC, emphasizing that the FIR and charge sheet provided sufficient grounds for proceeding with the prosecution. The Court reiterated that the High Court should not interfere with the cognizance order unless there is a clear lack of evidence. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's order was set aside, reinstating the criminal proceedings against the accused.
