Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the High Court's order affirming the dismissal of the appellant's application for discharge under Section 239 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Court held that the issues raised by the appellant should be determined during the trial after evidence is presented, rather than at the pre-trial stage. The Court emphasized that the trial judge must decide the matter based solely on the evidence without being influenced by prior observations.
