Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of whether the High Court's direction for a de novo trial in cases arising from two FIRs was justified. The court examined the procedural aspects under Section 223 of the CrPC regarding the clubbing of trials. Ultimately, the court upheld the High Court's decision to remit the orders for fresh trial, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive examination of the evidence in a single trial.
