Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal filed by Chandi Puliya, challenging the dismissal of his revision application by the High Court. The Court found that the second FIR lodged against the appellant, after a significant delay and following his acquittal in the first case, was not maintainable. The judgment emphasized the principle of double jeopardy and the need for timely prosecution in criminal matters.
