Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court quashed the FIR and charge-sheet against the appellant under Sections 25, 54, and 59 of the Arms Act, 1959, holding that the dimensions of the recovered knife did not meet the statutory threshold for an offence as per the Arms Rules, 2016. The Court noted that the knife's dimensions were below the specified limits, and thus, the prosecution could not sustain the charges. The Court emphasized the importance of adhering to the statutory definitions and thresholds in criminal proceedings.
