Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal against the High Court's order under Section 482 Cr.P.C. which set aside the trial court's order and directed a fresh trial in a criminal case involving serious offences under IPC Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 302, and 120B. The High Court had allowed the accused's application to quash or recall certain proceedings, but the Supreme Court examined the propriety of such interference at the stage of trial. The Court emphasized the limited scope of Section 482 Cr.P.C. and upheld the trial court's jurisdiction to proceed with the trial as per Sections 241 and 242 Cr.P.C. The appeal was allowed, restoring the trial court's order and directing continuation of the trial without unnecessary disruption.
