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 tried on merits during the trial rather than at the discharge stage. The Court emphasized that no findings were made on the merits of the case to avoid prejudice during the trial.
