State Of Rajasthan vs Firoz Khan @ Arif Khan

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's dismissal of the State's application for leave to appeal under Section 378(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, was flawed due to lack of reasoning. The Court emphasized that the High Court must apply its mind to the merits of the case when deciding on such applications, as established in State of Maharashtra vs. Sujay Mangesh Poyarekar. The appeal was allowed in part, necessitating the High Court to reconsider the application for leave to appeal.
