As per the case facts, some accused individuals were convicted and sentenced by a Fast Track Court, with some even receiving the death penalty, for offenses including murder and those ... under the Explosive Substances Act. The High Court, however, acquitted all the accused, leading to the appellant (informant) filing an appeal with the Supreme Court. The question arose whether the High Court was justified in setting aside the convictions and acquitting all the accused, particularly given the seriousness of the charges. Finally, the Supreme Court, after re-appreciating the evidence, found that the High Court was justified in reversing the judgment of conviction and acquitting all the accused. The Supreme Court also noted that it was a fit case for initiating perjury proceedings against the informant.
