Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's decision to quash the cognizance order under Section 302 IPC and Section 120B IPC was erroneous, as it disregarded the evidence presented during the investigation. The Court emphasized that the prosecution's case must be evaluated on the basis of the totality of evidence, including witness testimonies. The appeal was allowed, reinstating the cognizance order and directing the trial to proceed.
